About

In my software engineering career, I have grown from SDE-I at Amazon to Staff Engineer at Meta in 6 years. This accelerated journey was driven by first-principles thinking, proactive ownership, and a deep passion for software engineering.

Along the way, I’ve mentored many peers through career plateaus—helping them identify blind spots, sharpen their thinking, and grow with clarity. I’ve also conducted and gone through hundreds of interviews, giving me a sharp eye for where strong candidates often falter.

My approach is simple: we start broad. I’ll work with you to understand your current stage and aspirations. Then we’ll bring clarity and structure—focusing on the levers that will amplify your strengths and unlock the next level in your growth.

Looking forward to working with you!

A fantastic mentor, helped me achieve my goals, set expectations and ultimately helped land me a fantastic performance review. I'm a better engineer than when I started thanks to the hardwork Pratick put in for me.

I'm really grateful to have Patrick as my mentor - he has helped me to achieve so many of my goals and has really helped me focus on what matters. He's also a great person to talk to in general and gets to the meat of the matter at hand. He has some very keen insights and I would highly rate him as a mentor.
