I booked a mock interview & discussion session with Shivam. The experience was similar to a real interview and he gave some really insightful and actionable tips.

Hey there! 👋
I'm a IITian, 5-star CodeChef coder and nationally-ranked ACM-ICPC competitor (2017), with 7 years on both sides of the toughest technical interviews in tech — including clearing rounds at D.E. Shaw (full onsite loop), Databricks, Stripe, and Uber, Coinbase, Media.net and an offer jump from ₹56L at Media.net to ₹1.1Cr at Coinbase. When I was laid off from Coinbase in may 2026, I had multiple confirmed offers of ₹1.0Cr+ within about 10 weeks — because I know exactly how these rounds are actually run and graded, not just how they look on paper.
I don't run recycled LeetCode-clone mocks. I run the real style and difficulty of DSA, LLD, and system design questions you'll actually face, and after every session you get specific, structured feedback on exactly what's holding you back — not generic encouragement.
I mentor on: DSA, LLD & system design mock interviews, resume and career strategy, and — if you're building or interviewing on distributed systems or applied GenAI — the deeper technical stuff too. Book below, or DM me if you're not sure which fits.
