About

I am a pragmatic software engineer with 20+ years of experience, passionate about simplicity, operational and engineering excellence, DevOps, distributed systems and computer science. I am also a teacher and mentor at heart, which allows me to connect with software engineers, managers and tech product leaders of all levels of experience, helping them to grow, learn, and achieve their career goals.

I started coding in GW-BASIC with an 8086 when I was 13 years old (yes, I’m old, I’ve seen a lot). This initial experience made me realize that I wanted to stay around computers as much as I could. All this eventually led to college (Systems Engineering/Computer Science) which led to a long and fulfilling career as software developer engineer, teacher, and mentor.

My journey includes starting my own software engineering companies in Venezuela (and making a living of them for seven plus years), a five-year detour teaching Computer Science related courses at a notable Venezuelan university, and seven plus years at Amazon AWS as a Principal Engineer.

I recently completed my third mock interview session with Demian, which focused on the behavioral aspect, and once again, his mentorship was exceptional. Demian clearly understood the nuances of behavioral interviews and provided invaluable guidance on how to effectively present my experiences and respond to situational questions. He explained exactly what to expect during these types of interviews and walked me through various scenarios, helping me structure my responses in a way that showcased my skills and alignment with the company’s values. Demian’s feedback was direct and insightful, allowing me to see where I could improve and how to make my responses more impactful. His ability to dissect my answers and provide clarity on how I could better express myself was incredibly helpful. He identified areas where I needed to provide more context or detail and helped me refine my storytelling techniques to create a stronger narrative. Overall, Demian’s expertise and support during this session left me feeling more confident and prepared for behavioral interviews. His consistent ability to offer clear guidance and targeted feedback makes him an outstanding mentor for anyone looking to master the art of behavioral interviewing.

I had a second mock interview with Demian, this time focusing on system design, and it was another invaluable experience. As always, Demian’s professionalism and attention to detail were exceptional. Even though I made some mistakes during this session, he offered constructive feedback that helped me identify exactly where I went wrong and how I could improve. One specific area where he provided guidance was in using the tool for drawing diagrams. I struggled to effectively present my design due to unfamiliarity with the tool, and Demian quickly pointed it out. He explained how being comfortable with the tools used during an interview is crucial and offered suggestions on how to practice and enhance my skills in this area. Demian had a clear picture of where my weaknesses were and provided targeted advice on how to address them. His feedback wasn’t just about correcting mistakes but also about helping me build a solid foundation for tackling similar questions in the future. He highlighted areas I needed to focus on, providing clarity and direction on what to improve next. Once again, Demian’s mentorship was outstanding, and I left the session feeling more confident and better prepared. His ability to pinpoint weaknesses and offer actionable solutions makes him an exceptional mentor for anyone looking to excel in technical interviews.
