About me
I'm an Engineering Manager at Uber with 12 years in tech — across D.E. Shaw, Amazon, Slice, and now Uber. I've built and scaled systems handling 400M+ transactions/day, led 20-person engineering orgs, and driven ₹12Cr+ annual cost savings.
I've been on both sides: a hands-on SDE building large-scale fintech systems, and a manager growing 25+ engineers including promotions and role transitions. I know what it takes to get promoted at Amazon, what interviewers at FAANG actually want, and how to make the IC → Manager leap without losing credibility.
Who I work best with:
→ SDE-1 to SDE-2/3 engineers targeting Senior or Staff roles
→ Senior engineers eyeing the move to Engineering Manager
→ Anyone cracking FAANG or fintech company interviews
→ Engineers wanting to break into or grow in Payments/Fintech
- Akshat lauded for his insightful feedback from an engineer-manager standpoint, offering valuable action plans.
