Summary

Hi! I'm a software engineer currently working at Google. Previously, I worked at Amazon. I graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Computer Engineering at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (UIUC, ranked #7 in the nation).

I specialize in coding interview preparation, project/resume reviewing, and career coaching. I have interviewed at 10+ software companies, including Google, Facebook, Amazon, Square, Uber, Robinhood, and more. I am here to help my clients land interviews and receive strong offers.

I work in Python, Javascript, Golang, and C++, but I can help with interview prep in other languages as well.

I am also available to help with CS coursework, and code debugging.

I look forward to working with you on your projects, both big and small! Please message me if you have any questions!!
