I'm a Senior Software Engineer at Yahoo (Core Mail & Calendar), with 8 years building backend systems at Oracle, PayPal and Otis. In 2026 I was laid off from Oracle. A few months later I had offers from Yahoo, Palo Alto Networks, NetApp and several startups. I know what that search feels like from the inside: resumes that get ignored, onsites where one bad round ends it, and the self-doubt in between. How I can help you: → Crack senior backend interviews: DSA (1,000+ LeetCode problems solved), low-level design and system design, practised the way real panels run them. → Get from layoff to offer: a resume that clears ATS, a LinkedIn post that brings referrals (mine reached 281K people), and a weekly plan you can stick to. → Grow as a backend / AI-infra engineer: Java, Spring Boot, Kafka, Redis, distributed systems, RAG and MCP, and open source (I contribute to Cline). Who this is for: SDE-1 to Senior engineers (1-10 years) targeting product companies in India, and anyone restarting a job search after a layoff. I also write The Plumbing Layer, a monthly newsletter on backend and AI infrastructure. Not sure which session fits? Book the free 15-min discovery call.
