About

My favorite thing about programming is that it's accessible to everyone and I love helping people understand just how easy programming can be.

I've helped developers in all different places in life, everywhere from getting their first job, to navigating difficult communication with their managers, to getting a great new job or promotion. People I have mentored now work at places like Google, Amazon, Meta, and Tesla.

If you're committed to starting a career in development, or moving it forward, message me! After we chat and I understand your goals, strengths, and weaknesses better, I can tell you how I'd approach our relationship. Then you can let me know if you think we'd work well together.

Whether we speak or not, good luck on your journey!

What mentees say

David has a very pragmatic approach to mentorship. He listened to where I felt I was and what I thought I needed, then was able to discern what I actually needed in order to grow. He helped me survey my growth options and landed on some advice that I've been following months later.

David is amazing mentor and a human being. He is an incredibly supportive, patient, and knowledgeable mentor who always goes the extra mile to help you learn and grow, even when you’re struggling or feeling lost. David was always ready to break down complex topics into simple, digestible steps, and he never made me feel bad for asking questions or needing extra explanation. He creates a safe, encouraging space for learning, and his feedback is always constructive and motivating. I would highly recommend David to anyone looking for a mentor who is not only technically brilliant, but also truly cares about your growth and well-being. I will definitely apply for mentorship with him again in the future.
