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.

As someone who has helped numerous people land their first job as a developer or level up from junior to mid to senior, I can help guide you to your goals. I started my career on the frontend, transitioned to full stack, then solely a backend engineer. Along the way, I've done everything from building scalable frontends, architecting event driven microservices, and building/maintaining infrastructure with Kubernetes and Helm.
I will give you actionable plans with an ample dose of compassion, humor, and ambition.

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.

Donovan's breadth and depth of experience with a wide variety of cutting-edge software technologies across the stack along with his delight for sharing ideas make for a great mentor. He himself is always hungry to learn new things and that attitude is contagious. As someone who ventured into software development without a traditional CS background Donovan was an amazing guide in helping not only build upon the skills I'd accumulated but also providing insightful suggestions in providing a path forward. He's quick to respond, generous with his time, and always delighted to answer questions. He's great at breaking down difficult concepts in a way that's conversational and easy to grasp. I'd definitely recommend Donovan as a mentor for anyone just starting out or someone with some experience looking to level up.

Donovan was a great mentor. He helped me spruce up my resume and linked in profile, prepare for interviews and eventually land a job. He was a great resource to have as I got comfortable in my new position. I highly recommend Donovan as a mentor for anyone in tech whether you have a few years of experience or are just starting out.
