I have some interviews aligned for FDE roles at Anthropic, OpenAI and Google ? However, I would like a coach with proven record that knows how these interview works and have really helped FDE engineers to join these companies. I need some mock interviews asap !!

Hi! Absolutely. I specialize in FDE system design, applied AI, and hands-on coding interview preparation, including candidates targeting OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google.

I bring 34+ years of software engineering experience, including technical leadership and architecture roles at Google, AWS, Meta, and Oracle. I've coached 720+ engineers and conducted FDE-focused mock interviews on realistic enterprise AI challenges, including successful hires at these companies (check my reviews).

We practice the engineering problems FDE candidates need to solve: translating ambiguous customer requirements into working, scalable, secure, production-ready AI solutions.

OpenAI: Agentic AI architectures, production RAG, tool calling, enterprise API integrations, Python implementation, evaluation pipelines, reliability, observability, and deployment.

Anthropic: Claude-based agents, MCP, tool use, orchestration, human-in-the-loop workflows, safety, debugging, context management, and production integration.

Google: Distributed systems, cloud AI architecture, data pipelines, scalable APIs, concurrency, caching, fault tolerance, and coding.

I've run realistic exercises involving banking agents, enterprise RAG, multi-agent orchestration, API design, failure recovery, and live coding.

My mock interviews simulate actual interview pressure: ambiguous requirements, architectural challenges, coding, follow-up questions, trade-offs, and detailed feedback.

I tailor preparation to each company's role and interview stage. While I cannot guarantee specific questions or hiring outcomes, I can provide technically rigorous, targeted preparation based on practical FDE scenarios.

As your interviews approach, send me the job descriptions, interview stages, and dates. We can prioritize the most important areas and start with a mock interview ASAP.

I am about to publish some videos for FDE candidates. Stay tuned!
