About

Hi, I'm Suraj. I'm a Staff Engineer in NYC, leading a platform org spanning multiple teams. My background is distributed systems at scale, and lately I've been going deep on agentic AI infrastructure.

Mentorship is genuinely the part of my job I find most rewarding. I've onboarded and mentored a number of engineers internally (who went on to become mentors themselves), and conducted many coding and system design interviews for senior+ candidates over the years. I can help most with interview prep, career advice, design discussions, , the senior-to-staff transition, and navigating org dynamics as a senior IC.

My style: direct but not harsh. The mentors who shaped me most were the ones who asked the questions I was avoiding, and that's what I try to do for others. If that's what you're looking for, send a message.

What happens when you start

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

You meet within days. Suraj 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.
