About

I am currently a tech lead at Meta. My area is platform infrastructure that integrates ML models and serves products including Facebook, Instagram and Oculus. My daily role is to support engineers and managers in the organization with planning, hiring, design review, and XFN collaboration. I have 10 years of industry experience in full stack development and machine learning. Within and outside Meta, I have helped hundreds of engineers landing their first jobs or getting promotion.

I offer my mentorship in the following three ways:

1. Project guidance. The objective is to complete a technical project. This project is either your startup, or for your resume portfolio. Each week, we meet to discuss ideas, technical design decisions, code review, and sometimes debugging together. Treat me as a senior engineer at your disposal so you can make the best choices throughout the journey. The project can be an open source github repo if you'd like to work in a dev team.

2. Interview preparation. The objective is to increase your chance of getting an offer in upcoming technical interviews, including coding, system design, ML, behavioral. I have been interviewing candidates for over a decade, so I'm able to help you concentrate on the most important skills and save you hundreds of hours from aimlessly solving leetcode problems. We need one hour meeting time to fully mock an interview session and feedback.

3. Career growth. The objective is to help you identify a stress-free way to succeed in a corporate environment. I expect you to come to our sessions with some questions. You will learn important topics such as scaling yourself, defining your scope, communication, driving result, and surviving the ongoing GenAI revolution.

Many of my mentees leverage my help in more than one way. For example, if you are new to software engineering or just graduated, you may want to work on a project and prepare for tech interviews in parallel.

I've had the privilege of being mentored by Roger, and I cannot recommend him highly enough. He has been incredibly kind, supportive, and consistent throughout our time working together. Roger's technical knowledge is exceptional, and he has been instrumental in helping me fine-tune my coding skills. Thanks to his guidance, I've gained much more confidence, especially in preparing for future interviews. One thing that really stands out about Roger is his availability and presence—he is always there when needed, fully engaged, and willing to offer support. On a personal level, Roger has helped boost my self-esteem significantly, something I deeply appreciate. He's also remarkably flexible. I’ve had to pause our sessions a few times due to personal reasons, and each time, Roger was more than understanding, adjusting to my schedule without hesitation. His ability to adapt to my circumstances has made the mentorship process stress-free and rewarding. If you're looking for a mentor who is knowledgeable, reliable, flexible, and supportive, I highly recommend Roger.

Roger is an amazing mentor who has seriously improved my career. As a solo founder, he has guided me to launch my first web app on the internet, and now he is currently teaching me the fundamentals of machine learning so I can improve my models to production-ready features. For every call, he takes the time so I fully understand the concepts and code and gives next tasks to do so I can keep learning. Give him a shot and you will not be disappointed!

My mentorship journey with Roger on MentorCruise was remarkable, particularly in system design and coding for tech interviews. Roger's insightful feedback, combined with his structured approach to problem-solving, significantly enhanced my understanding and skills. His experience as an engineer is evident in his clear and effective communication of complex concepts. What truly sets Roger apart is his dedication to my success, always investing additional effort to ensure I could achieve my goals. This level of commitment made our sessions highly productive and incredibly motivating. I highly recommend Roger to anyone looking to improve their technical interview performance.
