Software Engineering Lead

I have been part of hundreds of interviews in my career both as a candidate as well as the interviewer. I have sweated in air conditioned rooms during interviews, as well as impressed CTOs with my skills, so I know the pressure and anxiety of it.
I have got interviews at Google, Amazon, Facebook (Meta), Spotify etc. and managed to ace most of them. 
I also conduct tech interview rounds at my current job at Spotify for both backend and frontend positions, thus I know how it works and what exactly the interviewers are looking into you.

I have started using GCP when I was running my own startup in 2015 and fell in love with it. I have used almost all of GCP products including the Kubernetes Engine, App Engine (standard and flex both), PubSub, IAM, BigQuery, Cloud Functions, Cloud Storage, StackDriver etc.
I use GCP almost every day as part of my work and have multiple certifications in it (more on the way).

JavaScript was one of my first language (after C) which I started learning in 2005 when I was still in high school. I have used this language at multiple companies to develop great products such as various financial projects in React at Deutsche Bank, entire CRM workflow at Omio, and recently various internal platform tooling using Backstage at Spotify.
I have started with jQuery, then went with Angular.js, and now completely on React.js.
And of course, I prefer to use TypeScript, instead of raw JavaScript.
