👋 Hi! I’m Kuai, currently a Director of Engineering at an AI startup. With experience at Two Sigma, Google, and Citadel, I have a decade-long track record in tech and finance. I mentor both software engineers and managers, helping them navigate and succeed in their engineering careers.
My mentees have received offers from 30+ companies, including trading firms (Citadel, Jump Trading, HRT, Two Sigma, AQR), big tech (Google, Meta, Doordash, LinkedIn, Coinbase, Amazon), and startups (Glean, Databricks, Stripe).
5 out of 5 stars
Kuai is an excellent mentor. He patiently listened to my concerns and helped craft a plan that was best for me. I approached him because I needed a solid, structured plan to crack LeetCode questions. He set up regular calls throughout the month to check in on my progress, and was also available on chat whenever needed. I really liked his approach to building up my LeetCode skills systematically. He's genuinely one of the best mentors I've worked with, and I'd recommend him to anyone.

I booked a session with Kuai for resume and positioning feedback for Applied AI Engineer roles.The session was more strategic than tactical: instead of only reviewing resume wording, Kuai focused on bigger-picture positioning, company targeting, and how my background may be interpreted in the current market. Overall, I’d recommend Kuai if you’re looking for direct, honest feedback and are open to discussing bigger-picture career positioning, not just tactical edits.
