About this session
An introductory call is a simple way to get to know a mentor before committing to ongoing mentorship. This session gives you the chance to ask questions, talk through your goals, and see whether the mentor’s background, communication style, and approach feel like the right fit for you. It is a low-pressure starting point designed to help you make a more confident decision.
You can use the call to share what you are working on, what kind of support you are looking for, and where you feel stuck right now. It is also a chance to understand how the mentor typically works with mentees, what kind of guidance they can offer, and whether there is a strong mutual fit. The goal is to leave the conversation with more clarity on your next step and whether you want to continue working together.
Your mentor
Howdy, friend! I'm Depa :)
I'm a senior software engineer with +9 years in iOS development and +3 years with React Native.
You can expect from me honesty, proficiency and the desire to help.
You'll read a lot of dogma from internet and how to do things. My approach is to build from the ground up and explain the reasons behind abstractions (only if they are necessary). I will teach you how to think, not just a recipe that you can use (because there's no single solution to a problem!).
«For men of experience know that the thing is so, but do not know why, while the others know the ‘why’ and the cause. Hence we think also that the masterworkers in each craft are more honourable and know in a truer sense and are wiser than the manual workers, because they know the causes of the things that are done» (Aristotle, Metaphysics A1)
I've graduated as a software engineer in Argentina and performed further studies in Austria, achieving a Master's Degree in Software Engineering. I'm back at university studying philosophy (so yeah, it's not only software we can talk about!). I'm also an assistant professor at functional programming at ITBA.
I've given technical talks in Swift Meetups, lead multiple teams and mentor people throughout Codementor. In addition to mobile programming, I'm also experienced in Python, React && multiple programming languages.
I've contributed to @Apple, @Theorem, @Brubank, @Wolox, @AIT, @getmimo and @MURAL.
