Your mentor

👋 Hi! I’m Kuai, currently a Director of Engineering at an AI startup. With experience at Two Sigma, Google, and Citadel, I have a decade-long track record in tech and finance. I mentor both software engineers and managers, helping them navigate and succeed in their engineering careers.

My mentees have received offers from 30+ companies, including OpenAI, trading firms (Citadel, Jump Trading, HRT, Two Sigma, AQR), big tech (Google, Meta, Doordash, LinkedIn, Coinbase, Amazon), and startups (Databricks, Stripe, Glean).

He patiently listened to my concerns and helped craft a plan that was best for me. I approached him because I needed a solid, structured plan to crack LeetCode questions. He set up regular calls throughout the month to check in on my progress, and was also available on chat whenever needed. I really liked his approach to building up my LeetCode skills systematically. He's genuinely one of the best mentors I've worked with, and I'd recommend him to anyone.”

Frequently asked questions

What exactly is a session?

A session is a focused one-on-one call with your mentor. Use it to get feedback, work through a specific problem, review your work, or get unstuck. You reserve up to 30 min of their time.

How do I pick a time?

After checkout you pick a slot from Kuai's live availability, and it's confirmed on the spot.

How does the session take place?

Sessions happen over video call. Your mentor shares the meeting link ahead of time, so all you need is a quiet spot and a stable connection.

Can I reschedule?

Yes, up to 24 hours before the session. Message your mentor and find a new time that works for both of you.

What if my mentor doesn't show up?

You're protected. If a mentor is a no-show, it takes one click to cancel and get your money back, no questions asked.

How do refunds work?

You pay securely by card at checkout. If the session can't go ahead, you can cancel and get your money back instantly from your dashboard.
