Hands-on support
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.

Donovan is a very personable mentor. He was able to relate with the challenges I am facing and thus provide very valuable roadmap on how I can improve myself as a senior engineer to stand out in the market. I highly recommend him for anyone trying to level up as a senior engineer.

I had the pleasure of working with Donovan, and I can't speak highly enough of his mentorship. His generous time and invaluable suggestions have been instrumental in my growth. Donovan's guidance helped me gain confidence in my new position, and his supportive nature made the learning process enjoyable. As I transitioned into my new role as a Senior Developer, I initially felt intimidated by the self-sufficient nature of the position. Donovan's insightful advice on where to focus my efforts and how to engage in meaningful conversations with my managers and leadership has been invaluable. His mentorship has been a cornerstone in my professional development, and I am grateful for his support.
