Recruiting coaching for SWE and quant roles.
I coach college students through software engineering and quantitative finance recruiting — resume and project planning, mock interviews, behavioral preparation, and a season-long strategy, for internships and new-grad roles alike.
Recent, first-hand experience
I'm a senior at Northwestern studying Computer Science, Mathematics, and Music. I've interned at LinkedIn as a machine learning engineer and at IMC Trading as a quantitative trader, and I'm now a research engineer at Mechanize working on alignment — and through my own recruiting cycles I've earned offers across both tech and quantitative finance.

The first step is the hardest part
The hardest people to help in recruiting are the ones without previous experience — and that's a problem most people well into the industry don't really understand. Once you have one internship or one strong project on your resume, everything that follows gets dramatically easier. Getting that first line is the real challenge.
That's why so much of my work focuses on it: tailoring a resume when there isn't much to put on it yet, and planning technical projects that actually market you. We start from what you like, what you're interested in, and what you're good at, and design who you want to present yourself as — then build the resume and the projects to back it up.
From there, I help with everything around the process: a recruiting timeline that starts early enough to matter, an interview tracker so nothing slips, and strategy at every stage until the offer is signed.

Services
Resume Review
Line-by-line feedback and rewrites based on what SWE and quant screeners look for — impact-driven bullets, the right projects front and center, and formatting that works for both human readers and resume parsers.
Mock Interviews
Realistic practice for coding and algorithms, machine learning, and quant-style probability and mental math — followed by honest, detailed debriefs on both your solutions and how you communicated them.
Behavioral & Story Prep
Your introduction, project deep-dives, and behavioral answers — refined until they're clear, specific, and genuinely yours.
Recruiting Strategy
A recruiting timeline that starts early enough to matter, target lists across tech and quant, guidance on networking and referrals, and help navigating deadlines and decisions once offers arrive.
