Based on 17 verified mentee reviews
I spent 20+ years in engineering leadership at Facebook, Amazon, and Mastercard, most recently as a Senior Engineering Manager at Amazon. Here is what matters for you: I spent those years as the hiring manager on the other side of the table. I interviewed over 10,000 candidates and hired thousands across IC and leadership loops, so I know exactly what earns a strong-hire signal and what quietly sinks an otherwise good candidate.
I work with two groups.
1. Engineers targeting FAANG and top-tier companies who need to sharpen behavioral storytelling, system design, and the specific signals interviewers score against.
2. Engineering managers and senior leaders going for EM, Sr EM, and leadership roles, where the real bar is people leadership, stakeholder management, org impact, and staying composed under pressure.
My mentees have landed roles at companies like Meta, Amazon, Walmart and other top firms. We tighten your resume so recruiters grasp your impact in seconds, run realistic mock interviews with hiring-manager-grade feedback, and build a clear path from where you are now to the offer.
If you want someone who has actually made these hiring calls, not just passed an interview once, book an intro call and let's talk.
