About

Background, approach, and what to expect

Over 11 years, I've built scalable products used by millions - leading initiatives, conducting technical interviews, and mentoring 1,000+ engineers preparing for product-based roles. I've been through 150+ interviews across frontend and full-stack loops. I know what top companies evaluate beyond coding: architecture choices, trade-offs, communication, and engineering judgment.

Today, I'm also building AI solutions and AI agent workflows — and I bring that same first-principles mindset into mentorship: clarity over shortcuts, systems over memorization.

What you can expect: • Personalized roadmap — Frontend, Backend, or Full Stack

  • System Design sessions (LLD + HLD) with real-world trade-offs

  • DSA & mock interviews with actionable feedback

  • Resume & LinkedIn review for product-company hiring

  • Structured prep plan + curated learning resources

  • Guidance on moving from service-based to product-based companies

My goal isn't just to help you clear interviews — it's to help you build strong engineering fundamentals and long-term career confidence.

Targeting MAANG+, high-growth startups, or top product companies? I'll help you prepare with a focused, practical approach.

I connected with Santosh for career guidance, and his advice has been incredibly helpful in all aspects. Thanks to his insights, I was able to make informed decisions, choose the right path, and successfully crack an interview with a top product-based company. He also taught me how to negotiate effectively, resulting in a significant salary hike. I am truly grateful for the impact it has had on my career.
