About

Hey there! My name is David, and I'm a Canadian currently living in New York City. I have almost two decades of experience working in the tech industry. In the last decade, I took on leadership roles to help people grow and succeed in their careers.

I am a director of engineering with a ton of experience mentoring engineering leaders and engineers. I like to think of myself as an investor; I love investing my time in people. I enjoy discussing struggles, coaching, and checking in with engineers and engineering managers to achieve their goals in my day-to-day job. I speak fluently both French and English.

I look forward to jumping on a call with you and getting to know you better.

David helped share perspectives above my current level such that I could clearly and actionably chart a professional course forward. His insights were invaluable and helped me feel the confidence I needed as I made a transition into a new role.

This was a new experience for me, but thus far I've found David's insights to be invaluable. He has helped me better understand many aspects of the software industry for which I expressed a desire to learn more. I look forward to continuing our meetings and would recommend his services to any software engineer looking to better understand their role in their organization as well as the broader industry.

So far, David has checked every box I looked for in a mentor. He keeps our conversations engaging and offers insights from a different point of view, often highlighting things I wouldn't have thought of. He doesn't sugarcoat anything, which I appreciate. In the four months I've spent with him, I've seen a drastic improvement in my personal and professional development, especially in my confidence and communication skills. Thanks to him, I can now handle more challenging tasks in a managerial role that I wasn't prepared for before.

I reached out to David to explore how I'm thinking about development & personal growth. He was wonderful, thoughtful, incredibly inquisitive, and overall extremely helpful. He takes a very socratic approach, asking just the right questions to better unpack & understand how you're thinking. I highly recommend him as a mentor.
