Hi, I'm Anand 👋 Principal Software Engineer & Engineering Manager with 14+ years building scalable systems currently leading an AI Platform team, working on RAG pipelines, LangChain/LangGraph agentic workflows, and LLM integrations in production. I've walked the path from individual contributor to tech lead to engineering manager, and I mentor engineers navigating that same journey whether you're prepping for system design interviews, moving into a management role, breaking into AI/LLM engineering, or trying to figure out your next career move (including global/remote opportunities). I can help you with: 1. System design & backend architecture interviews 2. DSA/coding interview prep strategy, not just problems 3. Transitioning from engineer to engineering manager 4. Getting started with RAG, LangChain, and production LLM systems 5. Resume reviews & LinkedIn branding for tech roles 6. Career strategy for remote/global opportunities I keep sessions practical and direct real feedback, real frameworks, no fluff. If you're stuck on a specific problem or just need a sounding board from someone who's been through it, let's talk.
