Roman Yusufov

Hello there! 👋 I'm a seasoned software engineer with a passion for mentoring and helping other engineers grow.

My specialty is helping mid-career engineers overcome career stagnation and fire up their careers. Whether you're seeking to 1) advance your career, 2) get a new job, 3) expand your technical skills, or 4) just get *unstuck*, you don’t have to do it alone.

Short on time? Not sure where to start? Lack a formal CS background?

Not a problem. I don’t use a one-size-fits-all approach. My mentorships are personalized to your situation, experience and resources, be it time or energy. All you need is a hunger for growth and a willingness to put in the work.

ABOUT ME

I spent 9 years at Amazon as a Senior Software Engineer. During this time, I had the opportunity to learn from the best engineers on projects that include Amazon Marketplace, Amazon Alexa, and Amazon Logistics. My specialty was building scalable backend systems using AWS.

I’m also a former Amazon Bar Raiser with over 300 interviews under my belt. I helped hire dozens of SDEs, SDMs and TPMs to grow our teams.

I recently completed my coaching certification and am now a full-time career coach mentoring software engineers in building successful and fulfilling careers.
