A quick, no-pitch 15 minutes to see if I can actually help.
Live and one-on-one. Software engineers, product managers, designers, any profession you can think of. If you want to be better at your job or automate a process, I'm sure I can help you. No coding required.
A hands-on workshop that gets your whole team productive with AI. I did exactly this for The New York Times' Engineering org.
I find your repetitive time-sinks, build Claude systems to automate them, then train you to run them yourself.
Coding-interview patterns (arrays, trees, graphs, DP) taught so you recognize them, not memorize them.
A full 60-minute mock, coding or behavioral, run like the real thing, with honest written feedback.
Build STAR stories that land and rehearse the questions that trip people up: leadership, conflict, failure.
Five sessions to go from rusty to ready. Mix DSA, mock, and behavioral however you need, at a flat $85 a session, cheaper than booking any of them one at a time.
System-design coaching for senior-level interviews: how to scope, diagram, and defend a real architecture under pressure.
A mentor on retainer, not interview prep. Two 1-hour calls a month plus async email between them: getting promoted, what to learn next, and navigating managers and tough calls.
A detailed written teardown plus a 30-minute live walkthrough, so every bullet earns its place.
I had the opportunity to work closely with Alex on several AI initiatives, and he has been one of the key technical drivers behind our organization's adoption of AI-assisted engineering practices.
Alex designed and implemented the AI harness and supporting workflows that enabled a major project. He has a unique ability to evaluate emerging AI technologies, identify practical applications, and quickly transform ideas into scalable engineering solutions. His work helped establish repeatable patterns that engineers could confidently adopt across teams.
One of Alex's strengths is bridging the gap between cutting-edge AI capabilities and real-world software development. He has invested significant effort in exploring tools such as Claude Code, developing effective workflows, documenting best practices, and helping engineers understand how to maximize productivity while maintaining engineering rigor and code quality.
Beyond his direct technical contributions, Alex has been instrumental in raising the AI capabilities of the broader engineering organization. Through workshops, mentoring sessions, and company-wide presentations, including our AI training programs and engineering summit, he has shared practical lessons learned and demonstrated how AI can meaningfully improve software delivery.
Alex combines curiosity, humility, technical excellence, and a strong sense of teamwork. He is the type of colleague who raises the bar through both his work and his example. Any team would be fortunate to have him as a partner and mentor.

I had the pleasure of working closely with Alex on several projects, and I am consistently impressed by his ability to provide creative solutions for complex problems. Alex's deep understanding of software development process, combined with an innovative mindset, was invaluable addition to our team.
Alex also excels in writing extensive documentation, which played a crucial role in ensuring smooth project execution and knowledge transfer. His attention to detail and clear communication skills significantly contributed to the success of our initiatives.
I wholeheartedly recommend Alex for his technical expertise, dedication, and exceptional problem-solving abilities. He is a true asset to any team or project.

Alex has consistently proven himself to be a remarkably diligent and skilled coder during the time we worked together. Regardless of the complexity or scale of the task, Alex's code is always well-documented, easily maintainable, and performance-optimized.
Notably, his contributions were crucial in implementing several robust algorithms that significantly enhanced our application's performance. His commitment to continuous learning and tireless work ethic make him an exemplary programmer. I unequivocally vouch for Alex's coding expertise.

I was a student of Alex's for a number of months. In that time my confidence and capabilities in both coding and system design interviews increased dramatically. He is caring and capable, and has an excellent understanding of the most important parts of each interview.
He highlighted where I did well and clearly explained where I could improve, making sure that each session we were making progress. I highly recommend Alex to anyone looking to improve their interview performance.

I have been working with Alex as a tutee during my time at a rigorous software engineering bootcamp. Alex has exceeded my expectations in all areas. He is extremely intelligent and well informed.
He is able to break down every single problem and explain them in an effortless style.
