CEO @ HiCounselor | 2X O-1 Visa Holder | Ex-Deloitte, PwC | Building a Community to Help Job Seekers with Referrals

I came to the US in 2014 for a master's degree at Duke University.

Post-graduation, I was fortunate to start my career as a Tech Consultant at PwC and then with Deloitte in San Francisco. 

However, I always wanted to utilize my tech skills to start my own business. 

In 2020, I decided to leave my job and launched HiCounselor in San Francisco.

The decision wasn't easy as I had many open questions, concerns about immigration, and fear of failure. 

Fortunately, the decision turned out to be the right one. 
✅ Generated millions in revenue
✅ Raised VC funds from top investors in Silicon Valley
✅ Employ more than 40 people in the US, Canada, and India.

👉 These four years have taught me a lot about starting a company as an immigrant in the US, and I want to share this journey with every technical professional who wants to make side income or become a full-time entrepreneur.

✉️ Join my newsletter (https://lnkd.in/gPBziwZ3), where I share weekly actionable tips. 


👉  If you are not ready to leave your full-time job at this time, that's okay.
You can join hicounselor.com/mentor and make a side income by sharing your technical expertise. 

If you need any help, feel free to message me or comment on my posts. I will respond as soon as possible.

It’s the path we’re using at our company with LangChain and LangGraph — and honestly, it just works.

Here’s how we break it down:

* 𝗔𝗽𝗽𝗹𝗶𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗟𝗮𝘆𝗲𝗿 → Workflows like chat graphs, research graphs, ingestion pipelines
* 𝗜𝗻𝗳𝗿𝗮𝘀𝘁𝗿𝘂𝗰𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲 𝗟𝗮𝘆𝗲𝗿 → APIs, persistence, monitoring, LLM integration
* 𝗧𝗲𝘀𝘁𝘀 𝗟𝗮𝘆𝗲𝗿 → Unit + integration tests to keep everything reliable
