ABOUT ME
Software Engineer, Site Reliability Engineering at Google
Software Engineer, Site Reliability Engineering at Google
Hi. I work full time as a Software Engineer at Google, on ML reliability. Before that, I used to work at Amazon on item information correction pipelines. Most of my current experience is with Python, Go, and C++, but I'm familiar with several other languages and frameworks as well.
Please note: Code I write is contractually owned by my current employer, so I cannot work on any freelance jobs. I would be happy to teach / guide / interview you in a 1:1 session or review your code for you, however. I will also not discuss specifics of the hiring processes of any current or past employer.

I have a love-hate relationship with Java. Love the platform, hate the bloat (interpret this in the context of the fact that my favourite language is Python.) Still, I have a good amount of experience with the language, but mostly with Java. These days I prefer to use Kotlin in place of Java.

Great tutor!

10/10 was super helpful and knowledgeable, would most definitely recommend. Helped me through the problem, and even explained what he was doing and what effects it had on the code. Excellent code mentor, if I had any problems again I would most definitely use him again.

Appreciate the fact that he paused the session to point out a potential bug, which had nothing to do with the specific problem we were dealing with, in the code.

Just superb! Took a time to install my app without having installation files (was quite a challenge with errors popping up, he was very patient), and found the problem really fast, explaining what went wrong. Would recommend him and would absolutely use his services later whenever I'm stuck with my React code again.
