Hey, I'm Shikhar 👋 I'm a Software Engineer at Google, working with YouTube, previously worked as a Software Engineer at Oracle, and graduated from NIT Rourkela. I'm passionate about problem solving, system design, backend engineering, and helping engineers navigate their software engineering careers. My journey involved going from NIT Rourkela → Oracle → Google, solving 1500+ coding problems, becoming a LeetCode Knight and Codeforces Specialist, and eventually cracking the Google Software Engineer interview. Having gone through this journey myself, I understand how overwhelming interview preparation and career switches can get — too many resources, too many roadmaps, and very little clarity on what actually matters. Through Topmate, I can help you with: • DSA & Coding Interview Preparation • System Design — HLD & LLD • Big Tech Interview Strategy & Roadmaps • Resume & Profile Reviews • Mock Interviews • Career Guidance for Software Engineers My goal is to help you prepare in a structured and practical way, avoid common mistakes, and focus on what actually matters for your next opportunity. Whether you're preparing for Big Tech, planning a switch, or need clarity on your preparation strategy — let's connect. 🚀
