I’m a Software Engineer-II at Uber (L4), worked previously at Amazon, and a graduate of IIT Hyderabad. Over the past 3+ years, I’ve worked on building scalable distributed systems and backend services in high-ownership environments. Through my own interview journey and real-world experience, I’ve developed a structured approach to system design, machine coding, and backend problem-solving that focuses on clarity, trade-offs, and strong-hire signals. I mentor engineers with 0–3 years of experience who want to break into strong product companies and level up their technical thinking — not just memorize answers, but think like a senior backend engineer during interviews.
