About

I am a full-stack software engineering manager/lead. I started my career as a frontend leaning full-stack engineer, then transitioned into a solely backend role before transitioning to the infrastructure and DevOps side of things. I have helped a number of self taught or recent bootcamp grads land their first job as a software developers as well as helped mid level engineers ascend to a senior role. I understand how important it is to have great mentorship but who mentors you is equally as important as what they're telling you. When I mentor folks, I try to be the friend who gives you the advice you need to hear and not just the stuff you want to hear. Click the link below to learn more about my engineering ethos.

It's a pleasure to work with him! Speedy and informational answers, continuously checking on you, trying to make you stay on the right track. Really helped me to navigate my journey as an aspiring developer, gave the recommendation on what should I do next, also always offered multiple paths depending on my specific interests and goals. If you looking for someone to help you break into tech or improve your career I would highly recommend working with Donovan!

I decided to get a mentorship to get an objective vision from a professional perspective on my tech stack and my abilities, and also to navigate me through the process of becoming a software developer.And Donovan is a great match for all of my goals! He's giving me consistent and detailed feedback. He's also helping me to spot my weak spots. I'm really happy to work with him. Highly recommended!

Donovan is one of the most down-to-earth and well-rounded engineers I’ve had the pleasure of working with. As a bootcamp graduate without a degree, I was stuck sending applications into a black hole, and even when I got interviews, I struggled to approach them properly and piece together my narrative. Donovan's advice and our conversations were game-changing. It felt like he could articulate my story better than I could myself. Every question I asked was met with detailed, insightful responses, often delving deep into industry topics and the interview process in ways I hadn’t considered. I was thoroughly impressed with his comprehensive approach. Thanks to Donovan’s guidance, I landed a role within the first month of working with him. I wouldn't have navigated my interviews successfully without his help. The narrative we crafted resonated not just with me, but with the company I interviewed for. Donovan also provided excellent technical resources and has continued to offer honest, thoughtful advice as I prepare to grow in my new role. I can’t wait to get started, and I can’t thank Donovan enough for his support.
