The Mentors
Meet our mentors!
As an Engineering Manager at The Times, I oversee and manage all engineering teams in Times Media, across three different domains: web, mobile, and platform. With over 18 years of experience in the tech industry, I have developed and implemented career development plans, revamped the interview process, and provided regular feedback and coaching to engineers, helping them grow their skills and careers.
The Experience
Here's what some of the students say about us
“I've learnt a lot from my mentor that helped me better understand how I can shape my path for the future. The Software Engineering Internship at The Times from the GDG Academy gave me the perfect exposure to working with a great team.”
“Thanks to my mentor for sharing their stories with me and giving me advice during the mentorship program.”
“The discussion I had with my mentor was truly invaluable to me, and I feel fortunate to have had the opportunity to learn from someone as experienced and knowledgeable as them.”
“I gained a much better understanding of what to expect working in tech and your introduction to cloud systems has really broadened my horizons in terms of what I’d potentially like to go into in the future.”
“I’ve been able to discover so much about the tech industry through the many chats I’ve had with my mentor; these have helped me gain a deeper understanding of how I could break into tech even without a proper programming background.”
