I’m an SDE2 at Microsoft with prior experience as an SDE1 at Amazon, where I spent four years building and scaling distributed systems. I began my journey as a System Development Engineer, working closely with infrastructure, automation, and high-availability systems before transitioning into a full software development role. This path gave me a strong blend of systems insight and engineering depth. I’m passionate about designing reliable services, solving real-world technical challenges, and mentoring others who want to grow in Big Tech. I help with interview preparation, system design, career transitions, and navigating the shift from system-focused roles to core software engineering.
