About

I’m a former Google, Meta, and Microsoft engineering leader with decades of tech experience as an engineering manager, program manager, and distinguished engineer specializing in Applied ML and Infrastructure. I’ve hired, managed, and coached SEs, EMs, PMs, and cross-functional partners, while regularly facilitating corporate leadership training. I hold a Master’s in Computer Engineering (ML) from SCU.

Outside of tech and coaching, I’m an avid global traveler who has explored all seven continents.

ZZ · Software engineer
Interview coaching · System design mock interview
Manisha prepared thoroughly for our coaching session. She reviewed my resume and the job description I shared in advance and came up with very relevant mock interview questions tailored to the role. She also helped me practice system design by working through diagrams, which was an area I felt particularly nervous about. After my interviews, she shared very practical and actionable tips that helped me reflect on my performance and identify areas for improvement. What I especially appreciated was her deep experience in the area I was interviewing for. Her feedback went beyond general interview advice—she offered specific, alternative approaches based on her own experience and gave me concrete areas to explore further. Overall, I found the session extremely valuable and appreciated how well-prepared, thoughtful, and practical Manisha was throughout the coaching process.

Rodney · Software engineer
Interview coaching · System design mock interview
Manisha coached me preparing for a senior observability-platform interview, and she was the ideal match: she’s operated log analytics at massive scale, so she could tell whether my vendor-neutral translations of internal-stack experience actually landed — exactly the gap I needed checked. Her mock surfaced real issues (conciseness, storage depth) with concrete homework attached, and her feedback was direct without being discouraging. The role I interviewed for was squarely in her domain, and her read on what the interviewers would probe proved accurate. Highly recommended.
