About

I'm Sasha, an engineering leader with 15 years in backend and distributed systems. At Spotify I led the team behind the company-wide caching platform, taking it from alpha to adoption by 100+ teams. At Expedia I led 12 data engineers and managers across the UK and US.

I've sat on both sides of the table: I've run hiring loops, built interview processes, and coached engineers through promotions. Now I coach engineers and managers through system design, behavioural and EM interviews, and through bigger moves like IC to manager, manager to senior manager, or back to IC.

I'm direct, practical and honest about where you stand. We'll work on your real stories and your real target roles, not generic templates.

What happens when you start

You tell Sasha your goals. They see exactly what you want to work on before session one.

You meet within days. Sasha reviews your application and books your first session, usually within a day or two.

You leave with a plan. Concrete next steps and a weekly rhythm from your very first week.
