About

I'm Shubham Gupta, a Software Engineer III (L4) at Google currently based in Mountain View. I consider myself a seasoned programmer at heart who happens to work in software engineering. My journey has taken me from a frontend intern to a rapid L4 promotion at Google, and I've been fortunate enough to navigate the competitive programming world as an ICPC Regionalist. I'm deeply passionate about system design and algorithmic challenges, but I also care strongly about social advocacy and mentorship. I spend a lot of my time helping others navigate the tech industry, whether that's through sharing HLD/LLD study guides or facilitating referrals for the Google Ads team. I'm always happy to connect with fellow engineers and those looking to grow their careers in tech.
