About this session
In this session, I will act as a technical interviewer or hiring manager and guide you through a standard interview procedure. I’ll simulate a realistic interview environment and provide actionable insights tailored to your goals. Whether you're preparing for FAANG, startups, or research roles, I’ll adapt the session to match the expectations of your target company.
The session will include approximately 40 minutes of interviewing followed by 20 minutes of targeted feedback.
I offer mock interviews of the following types:
- Coding interview
- System design interview, choosing from backend or product-focused
- Machine learning design interview, choosing from modeling or system-focused
- Behavioral interview
You will receive feedback on:
- Knowledge gaps
- Communication style and clarity
- Behaviors that might raise concerns for interviewers or hiring managers
- Other notable signals or impressions
- My overall assessment, including pass/fail and leveling recommendation
You’ll walk away with a clearer understanding of your strengths, areas for growth, and a roadmap to improve your interview performance. Expect honest, constructive feedback that helps you level up, not just pass.
Your mentor
Machine Learning practitioner with 10+ years of experience scaling data systems at top-tier Silicon Valley companies. I’ve led impactful projects across Machine Learning, Recommender Systems, and large-scale infrastructure, and have been a people manager for over seven years. I actively interview ML Engineers and Engineering Managers, giving me a sharp lens into what top companies look for.
I’m happy to support you with:
- Resume reviews
- Mock interviews: system design, ML design, behavioral, project deep dive, and Engineering Manager interview
- Presentation rehearsals
- Role-playing critical conversations (e.g., asking for a raise or promotion)
- Career transitions: into management or into Machine Learning
- Career growth topics that matter to you (e.g., goal setting, project planning)
- Deep dives into ML technical topics of interest
Whether you're preparing for your next big opportunity or navigating a career pivot, I’ll meet you where you are and help you move forward with clarity and confidence.
