How it works

Diagnose. Drill. Rehearse.

No generic 300-problem lists. Every session starts from where you are and ends with a clear next step.

i.

Diagnose

A realistic baseline mock shows exactly where you lose points, not where you think you do.

  • Baseline mock interview
  • Strengths and gaps, written down
  • A roadmap to your interview date
ii.

Drill

Focused sessions on your weakest areas, with the reasoning behind each pattern so it transfers to new problems.

  • Pattern-first problem sets
  • Reusable system design framework
  • Your behavioral story bank
iii.

Rehearse

Timed mocks under real conditions, with written feedback in the format a hiring committee reads.

  • Company-style mock loops
  • A written scorecard after each
  • A final readiness check

Coding

Data structures & algorithms

Learn the core patterns behind most coding questions and how to spot which one a problem is hiding. Then practise code-with-AI interviews: prompting an AI assistant, reviewing and testing what it writes, and explaining your choices out loud.

Code with AI interviewsArrays & hashingTwo pointersTrees & graphsDynamic programming
Design

System design

A repeatable framework for open-ended design rounds, from requirements to scale: high-level design, low-level design, and agentic AI systems built on LLMs, with trade-offs you can defend.

Agentic AI system designHigh-level design (HLD)Low-level design (LLD)APIs & data modelsCaching, queues & sharding
Behavioral

Behavioral & leadership

Turn your real experience into clear STAR stories that show ownership, impact and leadership at your target level. Then prepare with AI: use AI tools to draft, stress-test and rehearse your stories between sessions.

Mock interviews

Full-length, company-style mocks run by someone who conducts real interviews, with a written scorecard after each one on all four things interviewers grade: communication, problem solving, code quality and testing. The answer is only a quarter of it.

Coached by someone who still interviews.

Every session is with A.P., not a rotating bench of tutors. The same person diagnoses you, drills you and runs your final mock.

What you get from working with A.P.

  • The interviewer’s view. Feedback in the words a hiring committee reads, not generic tips.
  • One plan, end to end. Coding (including code with AI), system design (HLD, LLD and agentic AI) and behavioral, joined up.
  • Honest calibration. Where you stand against your target level, and what it will take to close the gap.
Why only initials?

Coaching is kept separate from A.P.’s day job, so the full name stays off this site. On your free 15-minute call, A.P. shares a LinkedIn profile so you can check the background before you pay.

“Definitely one of the best investments I have made.”

A.P. is one of the best interviewing coaches I have met, and has definitely upped my game. I haven’t interviewed for 8 years and got rusty. A.P.’s structured approach starting from the fundamentals, combined with practices and simulations, ultimately enabled me to get the offers I wanted. He is not cheap, but it was definitely one of the best investments I have made.

“A critical component of my interview prep.”

My sessions with A.P. were a critical component of my interview prep. It was my first time doing system design interviews and A.P. made the process much more approachable. He catered each session to a specific type of problem, and we worked through very interactively how to approach and break down each one.

I highly recommend A.P.’s tutoring, especially for those who have not done many (or any) actual system design interviews. His approach is a great way to supplement your self-studying, and I’m very satisfied with the amount I learned from 2–3 weeks of working with him.

“I chose to have personalized 1:1 sessions with A.P. and that was the best decision.”

I chose to have personalized 1:1 sessions with A.P. and that was the best decision. His teaching approach is truly extraordinary, effortlessly simplifying difficult questions without me even realizing it. He has a comprehensive grasp of each topic he taught me, and I vividly remember the significant impact of my first recursion class and the final mock interview.

His mock sessions and constructive feedback played a vital role in addressing my weaknesses. Over time, with each session, I noticed a natural progression in my ability to simplify even the most challenging questions, mirroring A.P.’s approach. He consistently fueled my confidence and self-belief.

On my part, I dedicatedly followed his classes and assignments, placing trust in his teaching. Let me assure you, this approach is more than sufficient to crack the coding rounds for companies like Apple, Amazon, Microsoft and Facebook. I can’t express enough how much A.P. deserves credit for my success. Thanks a lot, A.P., for teaching me.

“I achieved my goals and received an offer from Google in these challenging times.”

A.P. is a great mentor! I strongly recommend him to anyone seeking help in System Design, Algorithms and Data Structures. Over the course of more than 15 sessions, I have had the privilege of learning from A.P.’s expertise, and I cannot speak highly enough of his contribution.

My main area of interest was System Design, and I was striving to prepare for upcoming interviews and gain knowledge in that area. During the three-month course, we discussed a wide range of topics, from basic high-level design concepts to advanced system architectures. A.P. guided our discussions with patience, clarity and depth of knowledge.

Despite my being proficient with algorithms and data structures, we spent several sessions on difficult topics to improve my confidence. This was especially helpful before actual interviews. A.P. has a great ability to teach even the hardest topics in a simple manner.

In summary, I can confidently say that I have achieved my goals and received an offer from Google in these challenging times. If I ever need help with something like this again, I won’t hesitate to contact him.

“His mentorship helped me succeed, and I got offers from Amazon, Walmart Labs and Salesforce.”

A.P. is a great mentor to have. For someone like me who wanted to make a transition to FAANG, his mentorship helped me succeed and I got offers from Amazon, Walmart Labs and Salesforce, where I am working currently. He is really dedicated and passionate about teaching and works really hard at your areas of improvement. I would strongly recommend him!

“I successfully passed all the interviews at my first try.”

I highly recommend taking sessions with A.P.! He did an awesome job helping me prepare for Google interviews. With his assistance I successfully passed all the interviews at my first try. All the materials and questions were very close to real ones, which helped me cope with stress in the interview.

I took the design sessions with him later to nail down my skills, and they are full of hands-on experience that I found very useful in my career.

FAQ

Questions, answered.

Anything else? Ask on your free call.

Who is this for?

Software engineers preparing for interviews at top tech companies, from new grads to senior engineers. Whether you're months away or have an onsite next week, the plan fits your timeline.

Do you cover AI interviews?

Yes. Some companies now run coding rounds where you work with an AI assistant, and design rounds about LLM-powered and agentic systems. We practise both: prompting, reviewing and testing AI-generated code under time pressure, and designing agentic AI systems (tools, memory, orchestration, evaluation and guardrails), alongside classic high-level and low-level design.

Who will I be working with?

A senior software engineer currently at a top tech company, who has spent 10+ years coaching candidates through coding, system design and behavioral rounds.

How is this different from practising on my own?

Practising alone tells you whether you got the answer. It doesn't tell you how an interviewer would score your communication, approach or testing, which is usually where offers are lost. Coaching gives you that feedback.

What happens on the free call?

Fifteen minutes on your target roles, your timeline and where you feel weakest. You leave with a suggested plan, whether or not you book anything.

How do sessions and payment work?

Sessions are live on Google Meet. You pay securely online when you book, and your session is confirmed straight away. For a custom package, message us on WhatsApp or email: we'll agree the plan together, then you can pay by bank transfer or a secure payment link. Sessions can be rescheduled with 24 hours' notice.
