About

👋 Hi! I’m Kuai, currently a Director of Engineering at a Fintech unicorn. 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).

What mentees say

5 out of 5 stars

Kuai has been an amazing mentor who genuinely cares about helping others grow. His mix of technical expertise and management insight made a huge difference in my career journey. He guided me through everything—from salary negotiations and system design to behavioral and technical interviews—with patience and clarity. Thanks to his mentorship, I was able to build my story, gain confidence, and successfully navigate one of the toughest job markets, ultimately landing a great role at a great company. I couldn’t recommend him more highly to anyone looking for a thoughtful, knowledgeable, and supportive mentor.

I started working with Kuai because I wasn’t sure what direction to take in my career. He helped me figure out what to focus on and gave clear, practical advice on everything from interviews to planning ahead. It’s been super helpful talking things through with someone who’s been at top companies and knows the industry well. I feel more confident and focused now. Highly recommend if you’re looking for guidance in your tech career.

Kuai is an excellent mentor who provides clear and direct guidance. He quickly identified my gaps and addressed them with valuable materials (some of which he personally created) and insightful explanations drawn from his experience. I’m very satisfied with this mentorship and have seen significant progress in my interview preparation.
