About

I have over 15 years of experience as a Software Engineer and Engineering Leader (EM, Sr EM, Director), having worked at companies such as Pinterest, Snap, Spotify, and Paypal. My primary expertise is in interviewing and evaluating Senior / Staff / Principal ICs, as well as Engineering Managers (EMs and Sr EMs). I’ve conducted over 300 interviews throughout my career, focusing on system design, leadership, people management, project execution, and retrospective interview types. My goal is to assess both technical depth and leadership potential to ensure candidates are well-suited for senior roles.
