Hi!
My name is Svilen and I am a Senior Software Engineer at Oracle, Switzerland. I offer mentorships on a variety of topics, particularly for people aspiring to learn more about the tech world and the big tech industry. I focus on helping mentees grow their technical skills, acquire new competencies, and tackle both personal and professional challenges, and I am dedicated to building trusting, long-lasting connections and mentorships.
Professional Experience:
I have worked at leading companies like Amazon, Palantir, Oracle, and IBM, as well as different small and mid-sized companies, which have enabled me to gather invaluable experience from diverse corporate environments and agile startups. These experiences provided me with insights into different workplace cultures and practices that I want to share with you on your professional journey.
Educational Background:
Having studied at top universities such as ETH Zurich, the National University of Singapore (NUS), and the Technical University of Munich (TUM), I can guide previous, current, and future students through various challenges, including moving abroad, landing internships or new jobs, and making critical decisions about their futures.
I can offer mentorships in English, German, and Bulgarian, and I am passionate about creating an authentic and engaging mentorship experience.

Svilen is a very good mentor. He has very good ability to listen and to understand your situation. I wanted to improve my tech skills for FAANG interviews and I did reach this goal. Besides, he helped me a lot in my career decision. I would definitely resume a mentorship or recommend Svilen to a friend.
