FULL REFUND if I can't help! Leetcode Interview preparation FAANG, Algorithms expert, System design, C++, Python, Java, Machine learning, AI

Winner of multiple algorithm contests, with 14 years of IT experience. I have a Masters degree in AI & Machine learning. I can prepare you for interviews or exams, by creating a study plan, based on your skills, just for you.

I was told by multiple clients, after they chatted with multiple algorithm mentors here, seeking assistance for implementing or explaining some advanced complex algorithm/data structure, either everyone turned them down, or those mentors refunded their money after wasting them few hours or days.
At the end I was the only person that could help them with more advanced topic.
That is why I am asking for relatively higher price than others.
You can contact any of my previous clients, in my reviews, and ask them yourself about me.

Here I am on the news, for winning the most prestigious algorithm national contest:

Feel free to message me and request proof of any other credentials.

My biggest strengths are:

  • Mentoring people who prepare for coding interviews
  • Designing algorithms and data structures (like Leetcode/Hackerrank/Codility)
  • Machine learning, reinforcement learning, data science, computer vision

My Master thesis was creating a game agent that plays the FPS video game Doom, using deep reinforcement learning.
I've done a lot of competitive programming, like Hackerrank, Topcoder, International Olympiad in Informatics, ICPC-ACM, Google Codejam and Hashcode.

I was awarded full scholarships all throughout my high school, Bachelor, and Master studies, for my excellent grades and contests performance.
On my Bachelor in Computer Science, I graduated among top 5% in generation.
For my Master in Artificial Intelligence in Netherlands, I was the only student awarded with a full scholarship.

My work experience:

  • At the moment I am working on my own e-commerce startup. I developed the backend using Django, created a smart search engine, which pushed my algorithm and data structure knowledge to the limits. I also develop an image recognition system, with computer vision and deep learning, to be able to take a photo of some product in front of you, and the website immediately gives you the wanted product.
  • I've done a lot of mentoring and teaching to high school and university students, for algorithm and math exams, as well as preparing them for algorithm contests. I also mentored many junior colleagues at work as well as making presentations in front of the whole company, in the field of machine learning.
  • I worked at Tabtale, a mobile game development company from Israel. Used the Cocos 2D game engine in C++, programmed for Android with Java and for iOS with Objective-C.
  • Worked in Maxwell Biosystems, startup based as part of ETH-Zurich University in Switzerland. I was doing data science analysis in Python and Matlab, on neuron recordings.
  • Worked remotely for a data science startup Slovenia, on various projects: mentoring data science interns, churn prediction in telecom sector, bus arrivals predictions, predicting gamer playing style in a multiplayer game and matching players in teams based on their rank and playing style.
  • I was a teaching assistant at university, for the course Advanced Algorithms

Dejan was an amazing instructor who really went in depth on the material and helped me prepare for my interviews. I really felt a lot better after our sessions and that I understood the topics. He does not just give you the solutions but really helps you understand everything

Delves deep into the fundamentals and probes every answer to ensure you understand. Excellent at technical problems as well as the communication skills necessary to explain your solution.

Dejan is really knowledgeable and has great didactic. He was very patient and showed me details I was not paying attention when preparing for interviews, when talking about algorithm design and analysis.

I just had my first session with Dejan. I reached out to him for interview prep help. He was very personable, knowledgeable, and kind. He was great at explaining concepts that were difficult for me to grasp, or that I was unfamiliar with. And he was prepared and thorough with his lesson plan, even though he had to come up with it on the fly since he had no idea where I was at from a technical standpoint prior to the session. I highly recommend him!

Dejan helped me understand the "how to solve it" part of Hard leetcode questions. Really great knowledge on Algorithms. He challenges and guides you. This is exactly what I have been looking for.

Dejan gave me a killer crash course in system design -- as well as resources to keep learning. Looking forward to my upcoming tech interviews instead of dreading them. Thank you, Dejan!

Dejan has a great ability to assess a candidates strength within a few questions and come up with a tailored study plan. Additionally, Dejan has a great pulse on tech-interview trends and is able to tell a candidate how to cut their prep-time. Overall would highly recommend to others if they are also looking for SWE/DE interview tips!

Dejan Bozhinovski is an exceptional mentor who has been mastering data structures and algorithms since a young age. Not only did he quickly grasp the challenges I was facing, but he also helped me uncover the root causes and provided effective solutions. I wish I had met him sooner. While his services are a bit pricey, they are undoubtedly worth every penny. I highly recommend Dejan to anyone struggling with data structures and algorithms.

This was my Master thesis. The game agent uses raw visual input, and from the pixels with OpenCV, decides the next action. Compared different algorithms: Deep reinforcement learning with improvements, and A3C. This was developed in Tensorflow with Python Used the VizDoom platform for testing. Training the agent was done on AWS cloud.

As a University project, and motivated by my love for playing the board game Checkers, I implemented AI agent to play the game. Developed it with Visual C++ in Visual Studio 2015. Didn't use any deep learning, but traditional chess playing techniques, like alpha beta minimax negamax search, hashing of game states for faster search
