Before working with Uma, I was hyper-focused on grinding LeetCode. I thought that was the only way to grow. Through his coaching, I learned to think long-term and become a better, more capable engineer overall. That mindset shift alone changed everything for me. Through Uma’s guidance, I learned to think long-term and focus on becoming the kind of engineer who naturally succeeds. That mindset shift changed everything for me. What stood out most was how intentional he is. He doesn’t just teach you how to interview. He teaches you how to build a meaningful and sustainable career. I absolutely recommend Uma to anyone who wants to grow with direction and confidence. He genuinely cares, and that makes all the difference.

I struggled to gain ownership and seniority in my work at big tech. With Uma’s coaching, I started developing a more senior developer mindset, taking on more responsibility and gained a promotion. I learned and understood senior developer principles which challenged my development practices. I’d highly recommend this to anyone in an existing tech role who wants to move up in levels and gain seniority in their career.

At the time, I was struggling to secure offers. I was getting interviews, but none of them were converting, so I needed help figuring out what I was doing wrong. From the mentorship, I learned a lot about how to approach recruiting more effectively. The improvements we made to my resume also helped attract more companies. Over time, I became much better at interviewing and was able to land multiple offers, which gave me the opportunity to choose from some of the best companies! Uma is an incredible coach and mentor, and I feel so lucky to have worked with him. He was my first ever mentor, always patient, genuinely invested in my growth, and never hesitated to share valuable insights. I would 100% recommend him to anyone looking to grow, learn, and level up in their career.
