Hi, I'm Rahul! I am a Software Development Engineer at BNY Mellon and an active Technical Mentor at Tutort Academy. With a strong foundation in Competitive Programming (5-Star on CodeChef, Expert on Codeforces, Knight on LeetCode), I bring a highly analytical edge to problem-solving. As the tech industry evolves, so does my engineering focus. In addition to traditional scalable architectures, I actively build and integrate modern AI systems—including LLM-powered enterprise features, RAG pipelines, and AI agents utilizing external APIs. I am deeply passionate about tech education and actively guide both university students and industry professionals. Having conducted over 500+ mock interviews and mentored through platforms like Tutort Academy, Placewit, and Navgurukul, my primary focus is helping candidates bridge the skill gap, land their first SDE roles, or successfully execute a major career switch.
