Hey there 👋! I'm a long-time SDE passionate about mentoring. I've mentored dozens of mentees (both officially and unofficially) and guided orgs of up to 100 people in growing their skills as engineers. I'm also a former Amazon Bar Raiser with 300+ interviews and can help you master the interview process at Amazon and other FAANG companies.

My most popular mentorships fall in two categories:
1. Technical and career mentorship for software engineers.
2. Interview preparation for Amazon and other FAANG companies.

I can also tailor mentorships to your specific needs.

Technical and career mentorship for software engineers
---------------------------------------------------------
I can support your ongoing professional growth and career development goals. I can help you with designing greenfield projects, learning legacy systems, leveraging AWS technologies, OpEx best practices, and just general coding. I can also guide you in your career choices, assist you in navigating promotions and help you maximize your impact and visibility.

Interview preparation for Amazon and other FAANG companies.

Together, we'll work on:

- Understanding the key steps to passing the Amazon SDE interview (for L4, L5 and L6 engineers)
- Preparing and practicing for in-person interviews
- Focusing on the 3 pillars of interviews:

1. Understanding Amazon Leadership Principles and behavioral questions. These are the keys for success for SDEs, SDMs, TPMs and other roles
2. Technical fundamentals for nailing the coding interview.
3. The blueprint for creating robust system designs in 30 minutes.
