Mentorship

A thoughtful second perspective.

I work with a small number of engineers who want direct, practical guidance on technical decisions or career growth.

Where I can help

01AI Engineering Guidance
02Mock Interview — System Design, Low-level Design, or DSA
03Architecture Review
04Senior-to-Staff Growth
051:1 Guidance

Every session begins with context, not a predetermined playbook. We identify the actual constraint, work through options, and finish with clear next steps.

Sessions are preparation-led. Placement guarantees are outside this scope.

Mentee feedback

What stayed useful after the call.

Selected feedback from completed mentorship sessions, shared with permission.

Mock Interview · System Design
The session changed how I approach system design interviews. Instead of rushing into components, I now frame constraints, explain trade-offs, and keep the discussion structured.
Rohan K.Senior Backend EngineerVerified mentee
AI Engineering Guidance
I came in with too many disconnected AI topics to learn. Vivek helped me turn them into a practical roadmap focused on production RAG, evaluation, and the engineering skills that matter.
Meera S.Software Engineer transitioning to AIVerified mentee
Senior-to-Staff Growth
The conversation gave me a much clearer view of the shift from senior to staff engineer. The advice was specific, honest, and translated into actions I could apply with my team immediately.
Aditya R.Engineering LeadVerified mentee
Architecture Review
The review helped me separate what had to scale now from what could remain deliberately simple. We left with clearer boundaries and a safer rollout plan.
Isha V.AI EngineerVerified mentee
1:1 Guidance
A candid conversation that helped me untangle competing career choices and leave with a practical next step instead of another generic checklist.
Neha P.Software EngineerVerified mentee
Mock Interview · Low-level Design
Vivek pushed me to justify object boundaries instead of jumping straight into classes. That changed the quality of my low-level design solution.
Ankit D.Software Engineer IIVerified mentee
AI Engineering Guidance
I left with a much clearer view of evaluation, observability, and where agent workflows actually add value in a production AI system.
Sanya T.Machine Learning EngineerVerified mentee
Architecture Review
The discussion exposed two failure modes our team had missed and gave us a simpler sequence for validating the architecture before committing.
Manish G.Staff EngineerVerified mentee
Senior-to-Staff Growth
The advice was grounded in influence, technical judgment, and evidence rather than another promotion checklist. I knew what to demonstrate next.
Priya N.Senior EngineerVerified mentee
Mock Interview · DSA
The feedback went beyond correctness and helped me communicate my reasoning while keeping the DSA solution moving under interview pressure.
