About this session
An introductory call is a simple way to get to know a mentor before committing to ongoing mentorship. This session gives you the chance to ask questions, talk through your goals, and see whether the mentor’s background, communication style, and approach feel like the right fit for you. It is a low-pressure starting point designed to help you make a more confident decision.
You can use the call to share what you are working on, what kind of support you are looking for, and where you feel stuck right now. It is also a chance to understand how the mentor typically works with mentees, what kind of guidance they can offer, and whether there is a strong mutual fit. The goal is to leave the conversation with more clarity on your next step and whether you want to continue working together.
Your mentor
Hi there! I’m Yashasvi, a Senior Software Engineer & ML Infrastructure Mentor with 10+ years at Meta, Amazon and Adobe—where I’ve led ML training optimizations, architected high-scale payments and streaming systems, and guided engineers through technical leadership transitions.
I run introductory calls Monday–Friday, 9 AM–11 AM & 4 PM–6 PM PT, but feel free to pick any available slot.
In our call, you’ll learn how I tailor sessions to your goals and see if we’re the right fit—whether it’s coding interview prep, system design deep dives, or career planning in ML/infra.
