Ask Me Anything - 30 Minutes with

Whatever doesn't fit the mold: Get 30 minutes with a mentor to discuss your needs. Be it help with some code, discussing through an issue with your business, help for something at work or an issue with a project.

Hi, I’m Ayushi. I’m a Senior Engineering Manager at Instacart and previously worked at companies like DoorDash and Microsoft. Over the years I’ve benefited a lot from mentors who helped me navigate career decisions, leadership challenges, and transitions in my own career.

Mentorship has always been something I care deeply about. I’ve mentored engineers and managers throughout my career, whether it was helping someone prepare for interviews, think through system design problems, or navigate the transition into leadership roles.

What motivates me most is helping people gain clarity and confidence in their careers. Sometimes the hardest part is not the technical problem, it’s figuring out the right next step or how to position yourself for the opportunities you want.

Through mentorship I hope to share practical lessons from my experience and help others grow faster and with more confidence in their journey.
