It was an insightful discussion and I got to know the topics I need to cover for my upcoming interviews

Prateek was very helpful with his insights. I did a 1-on-1 mock interview with him and he asked very deep and useful questions. He probed further than I was used to, allowing me to get out of my comfort zone and really think about what the code is truly doing. Hos post-interview review was also quite thorough and he not only understood the areas i needed to improve on, but also touched on the qualities of my answers and how I should improve in how I answer.

Prateek was very friendly and really got to the point of understanding exactly what it is I needed from him and what my own experience was.
I build reliable distributed systems and AI-enabled backend platforms where scale, latency, availability, and operational correctness matter.
My work spans distributed architectures, event-driven systems, Java, AWS, Kafka, data platforms, reliability engineering, and production AI.
I'm particularly interested in the engineering decisions that become important at scale: concurrency, caching, idempotency, failure recovery, observability, performance, migrations, and balancing short-term delivery with long-term architecture.
I also write about influencing architecture across teams, resolving technical disagreements, raising engineering standards, and making good trade-offs under real business constraints.
I share practical lessons on distributed systems, system design, AI engineering, and technical leadership. Follow me if you're building systems that need to survive real traffic, real failures, and real trade-offs.
