60 minutes · Online, any timezone
- 100+ technical interviews run
- 10+ engineers hired
- Zalando, previously Shopify
The problem
You have solved hundreds of problems and still freeze in the room. Or you pass the coding round and get rejected anyway, with feedback too vague to act on.
What you get
- A filled scorecard, the same one a real panel would use.
- The 2 or 3 specific behaviours costing you offers.
- A recording of your own explanation, so you hear what the interviewer heard.
- A plan for the next 2 weeks, ordered by what moves the needle.
Formats
- Data structures and algorithms
- System design
- Leadership and engineering manager loop
- Culture fit and hiring-manager screen
How it runs
- 0-5 min You tell me the company, the level and the round. I set the format to match.
- 5-50 min The interview runs for real. I do not coach mid-session, because the real one will not either.
- 50-60 min Verdict first: hire, no hire, or borderline, and exactly why.
- Within 24h Written scorecard with evidence against each signal, plus what to drill next.
Why me
- I have run over 100 technical interviews and hired more than 10 engineers.
- I interview for Zalando loops today and interviewed for Shopify before that: coding, system design and behavioural rounds.
- I sit in the debriefs, so I know how borderline candidates actually get decided.
Do not book this if
- You want reassurance. I will tell you if you would not pass.
- You have not practised at all yet. Do 20 problems first, then book.
- You want a referral. That has to be earned through work I have seen.
I would rather turn down the booking than take money for the wrong thing.

Questions
What is a mock interview?
A mock interview is a real interview round, run for practice and scored the same way. Same format, same time limit, and no coaching while it runs. The output is a written scorecard you can act on.
How is a mock interview conducted?
You name the company, the level and the round. I set the format to match and run it for real. The verdict comes in the last 10 minutes, and the written scorecard within 24 hours.
Is an AI mock interview as good as a real one?
An AI will run the questions and never push back the way a panel does. It cannot tell you where your explanation lost a real interviewer, because it was never one. Use it for volume. Use a person for the verdict.
Which round should I book first?
The one you have failed most recently. If you have not interviewed yet, start with system design. It is where senior candidates lose offers most often.
Can you interview for a specific company?
I match the format and the bar of Zalando, Shopify and companies that hire the same way. I will not leak any company's real questions.
What if I do badly?
Then you found out here instead of in the real loop. That is the whole point, and the feedback tells you what to fix.
Do you offer a package?
Yes, 3 sessions, because most people need more than 1 round to change a habit. There is also the full programme: 3 mocks plus resume, LinkedIn and offer negotiation. Both are in the price section below.
Can you help once I have the offer?
Yes. Offer negotiation is an add-on: 60 minutes on the live offer, the counter written together, and async support until you sign.
