I am a Software Engineer II at Goldman Sachs with prior experience at SS&C and OpenText, working on backend services, microservices, and distributed systems in FinTech. I’ve gone through the journey from university projects to building and owning complex, production-grade systems, so I understand the skills, mindset, and preparation needed at each stage. Through my sessions, I help students and early-career engineers break into backend and distributed systems roles, structure their projects and experience to stand out for top tech and fintech companies, and prepare for real-world system design and backend interviews. My focus is on clear, practical guidance that helps you communicate your strengths, make confident career decisions, and build a strong, sustainable path in software engineering.
