About this Session

Sometimes, a strategy is needed to accomplish a future career change, or simply to get further in your current position. Should you go back to school? Look for a new job? Learn a new set of skills by yourself? Become a freelancer?

One of our mentors could be the outside view you need. They understand the challenges that come with a career change, and are happy to help you come up with a solid strategy on how to reach your goals.

I’m a seasoned full stack engineer and software architect with 20+ years of experience developing innovative solutions in both corporate and startup environments. I’ve personally architected, deployed and maintained production NodeJS (mostly) services utilizing much of AWS, built out the CI/CD infrastructure and scaled out the team to build on it. I have a thorough understanding of the software development lifecycle, and throughout my career I’ve been a part of, worked closely with, or managed teams on the front-end, backend, QA, Ops and Security. I have extensive experience in reviewing resumes, phone screening, conducting onsite interviews and creating career paths for Engineers.

James has been my Mentor for just under 2 years. Would recommend him to anyone who is a software / Compsci graduate. Helped mentor me into getting a tech job!

James has been invaluable to me over the past year, as I navigated promotions into Head of Engineering and then VP of Engineering. He's patient, thoughtful, and generous with his time and attention. Highly recommended.

Howdy! I came with some fuzziness in my thoughts with hope to put some clearance speaking to a highly qualified person that had a similar experience as me in my role. James knows how to find the right questions to ask which helps to determine a problem and solve it pretty fast. Also he has a solid experience in infrastructure, security and management stuff which becomes handy for executive or chief technical roles, which is also my case. I'm glad I chose James as a mentor, highly recommended!
