Being in the software engineering space for over 20 years across multiple roles and organizations of different shapes and sizes has taught me a thing or two about how to build teams and deliver some incredible projects. I specialize in leading product and platform engineering teams at mid to late stage + enterprise organizations. I have been a people leader now for over 10 years and have had the fortune or working with some really good folks; some who achieved great results and some who didn't that gave me an opportunity to find ways to unlock their careers. Additionally, I am an advisor to VCs, early strange start ups and consult on various expert consulting platforms like Tegus. How can I help you? Or what can I coach you on? Really anything in people leadership like how to promote platform engineers, how to write strategy documents? How do I get promoted to Director? What should an interview panel look like for an infra engineer? How to resolve conflicts at work? How to read a room? How to run an effective meeting? How to continue to remain technical as a people leader? You have a need, feel free to ask and we can go from there.

During my college, I was able to secure internships at Meta, Amazon, Capital One, Lockheed Martin and be in the interview pipeline for a lot of other big tech companies. I received return offer recommendations wherever I interned and will be joining Amazon as an SDE soon. I use my experience of applying to these big tech companies in order to give tips to other students about their application, resume and interviews.

I mentored my previous students refine their resume to pass the recruiter resume screens, prepare for technical interviews with coding interview preparation. I provide a refined and catered approach towards increasing success in securing multiple internship offers and full-time job offers after graduation. I offer mock interviews to simulate both behavioral and coding interviews. This is the strongest form of preparation that someone could receive ahead of a real coding interview. My Software Engineering services are not just limited to strategizing in the job search and preparing for interviews. As a Data Structures TA at UC Berkeley for 4 semesters, I am able to strengthen your foundational coding skills as needed to make you feel strong before proper coding interview preparation. My previous students have received job offers from FAANG+/Fortune 500 companies (Amazon, Pinterest, Roblox, Quizlet, Atlassian, Palantir, TikTok, Tesla, Goldman Sachs, and more) I've also helped clients achieve 10-20% salary increases through my approach to salary negotiation techniques.

During my undergraduate years at Duke, I was able to secure internships at Amazon, Capital One, and Tanium. I was also deep in the interview pipeline for multiple other big tech companies. I received a return offer wherever I interned and have also worked at various high-growth startups as a founding / secondary engineer in the realms of healthcare and FinTech. I have informally coached countless friends and peers on applying to tech companies to secure internships/job offers. I also worked in the Duke Career Center, where I was the go-to contact for all questions and materials regarding SWE job applications, resume editing, and nailing the technical/behavioral interview.
