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.

I had an outstanding experience being mentored by Svilen. He provided clear, actionable feedback, explained how to communicate effectively, and helped me address complex topics. He was genuinely invested in my growth. During my mentorship, I landed a new job opportunity, and he was a constant companion helping me navigate new situations, challenges, and decisions along the way. Our sessions helped me gain confidence, sharpen my thinking, and make meaningful progress. I highly recommend Svilen as a mentor.
