About

I wrote my first line of code a couple of weeks after graduating from college. Six months later, I landed a software engineering job at Google, and at the same time, I launched AlgoExpert—an online platform that helps Software Engineers prepare for technical interviews. After two years at Google and two subsequent months at Facebook, I decided to take the jump and to pursue AlgoExpert full-time. A few years later and with over 200,000 paying customers, AlgoExpert is now the leading technical-interview-prep platform. I also post on LinkedIn about software engineering and entrepreneurship to almost 500K followers: https://www.linkedin.com/in/clementmihailescu
