Hi, I'm Urvashi, a Backend Software Engineer (SDE3) with over 7 years of experience building scalable, distributed backend systems. My work has primarily focused on Java, Spring Boot, microservices, Kafka, MySQL, DynamoDB, AWS, and designing reliable, high-performance services for large-scale commerce and payment platforms. In addition to software development, I've actively participated in the hiring process and have conducted numerous technical interviews for engineering positions at leading product and big-tech companies. Reviewing hundreds of candidates has given me a clear understanding of what differentiates successful candidates—not just in coding rounds, but also in system design, backend fundamentals, problem-solving, communication, and overall interview approach. I started mentoring because I enjoy helping engineers bridge the gap between knowing concepts and applying them confidently in interviews and real-world projects. Whether you're a student preparing for your first software role, an experienced engineer targeting product-based companies, or someone looking to strengthen backend fundamentals, I aim to provide practical, personalized guidance. I can help you with: * Data Structures & Algorithms * Development * Low-Level Design (LLD) * High-Level System Design (HLD) * Microservices, APIs, Databases & Distributed Systems * Resume Reviews * Mock Interviews with detailed feedback * Career guidance for backend engineering My mentoring style is practical, structured, and tailored to your goals. I focus on helping you understand concepts deeply, identify gaps, and build the confidence needed to excel in technical interviews and grow as a software engineer. I have already guided many people and have helped them land in great places
