About Nikhil
I’m a Staff Software Engineer at Agoda with 9+ years of experience in software engineering, having previously worked at Amazon and UiPath. I’ve built and led large-scale backend systems, distributed services, cloud applications, and AI/LLM-powered products.
I’ve conducted **200+ technical interviews at Amazon and 50+ interviews at UiPath**, giving me extensive experience evaluating candidates across coding, system design, problem-solving, and behavioral interviews. At Amazon, I also **mentored and guided two software engineering interns through 6-month internships**, helping them navigate real-world engineering projects and grow as software engineers.
As a mentor, I help software engineers prepare for technical interviews and navigate their career growth — from cracking Senior Software Engineer interviews to making the transition toward Staff Engineer. I particularly enjoy helping engineers improve their system-design thinking, communicate technical decisions clearly, and approach interviews with a structured mindset.
My mentoring is focused on practical, real-world experience rather than interview theory. Whether you're preparing for a FAANG interview, targeting a Senior/Staff role, or looking to grow as a technical leader, I can help you build a clear plan and practice effectively.
