Hi, I'm Shivam — Tech Lead at Media.net, ex-Senior SDE at Coinbase, IIT Indore (CSE). I've spent 7 years on both sides of the toughest technical interviews. I'm a 5★ CodeChef coder and an ACM-ICPC 2017 regionalist, and I've gone through interview loops at D.E. Shaw (full onsite), Databricks, Stripe, Uber, Coinbase and Media.net. My offers took me from ₹56L at Media.net to ₹1.1Cr at Coinbase. In May 2026 I was laid off from Coinbase. Within about 10 weeks I had multiple ₹1Cr+ offers, because I know how these rounds are actually run and graded, not just how they look on paper. What I run • Mock interviews: DSA, LLD / machine coding, system design (HLD), GenAI system design, behavioral / hiring manager • Offer negotiation: breaking down your comp and building your counter • Resume reviews and career strategy, including job-hunting after a layoff How I run them: real difficulty, no recycled LeetCode-clone questions, and a scored rubric after every session that shows exactly what's holding you back. My day job is distributed systems (Kafka, Redis, PostgreSQL) and applied GenAI (LangGraph, RAG, multi-agent systems), so senior design rounds are where I'm most useful. Not sure which session fits?
