About

I am an experienced software engineer with nearly 20 years of industry experience, specializing in backend systems, distributed systems, databases, and large-scale software engineering. Having conducted over 1,400 mock interviews, I bring extensive experience helping candidates prepare for technical interviews across different experience levels. My coaching focuses on coding, system design, problem-solving, and communicating technical decisions effectively. My sessions are designed to closely simulate real interviews. I focus on understanding how candidates approach problems, structure their thinking, evaluate trade-offs, and communicate under pressure. Rather than simply arriving at the correct answer, I emphasize the reasoning and decision-making process that interviewers look for. Every session concludes with candid, actionable feedback covering strengths, areas for improvement, and specific strategies to perform better in future interviews. My goal is simple: help candidates walk into their actual interviews with greater confidence, stronger technical fundamentals, and a clear understanding of what it takes to succeed.
