Wow... what a mentor. What a journey. I came to Denis, burned out, having tried 10 different businesses with limited success at each. None of them were related to tech. I'd started posting on LinkedIn and written a book on design. But I couldn't figure out how to leverage that into coaching. Over the course of a year, Denis and I met every week. Over that time I brainstormed ideas, validated them, tried live streaming, tested different content ideas, wrote, submitted CFPs to conferences, embraced my dream as a conference speaker. I snagged my first conference talk in May, this led to another conference approaching me to be a speaker. I niched down with my content, focussing on observability in Rails, which was a solution to pain I'd always experienced. I prepared a basic outline for a workshop and validated it by pre-selling at the conference at a 90% discount. To my amazement and excitement, FOUR people bought! It was only $60 but it's the first money I'd taken for my observability workshop and showed that there was a real pain. Finally! I had a niche and a product that I saw people want. People raved about my talk and it was the number one focus at the afterparty. In September I'll do my second talk and I've got CFPs in to do more. Denis has given me hundreds of creative ideas, inspiration to keep going, encouragement when I needed it most, flexibility in payments, held me accountable when I needed it most, asked hundreds of well calibrated questions to figure out what was important to me and has been a trusted ally and mentor in my journey towards my dreams. I set out a goal of getting 5 paying clients at the start of this year. I'm at 80% of my goal and it's only August. It's taken me years of striving, but I've never been closer to my dream. An incredible mentor - insane technical chops, great business savvy, excellent emotional intelligence. If you're looking for a technical mentor who can help you achieve your dreams, hire Denis.

I sought mentorship to accelerate my journey toward truly becoming a Senior Engineer and effectively applying Extreme Programming principles. Working with Denis has exceeded all my expectations. His technical expertise is outstanding, but what sets him apart is his genuine commitment. Our sessions consistently run longer than scheduled, and Denis remains actively engaged throughout the week via Slack, always available to guide and assist me. Together, we've tackled significant challenges—currently, I'm refactoring legacy production code to make it testable. This mentorship has been transformative, significantly boosting my skills and confidence. Denis not only provides clarity on technical details but also offers strategic insights to help me grow professionally. I couldn't recommend his mentorship highly enough.

Working with Denis has been fantastic so far! I reached out to him after becoming tech lead at a small startup. Our release cadence was all over the place. Sometimes we would not release anything for weeks, and it was making it very difficult to estimate the impact of our initiatives. It only took one week being coached by Denis to start seeing results. Since the very beginning, we started releasing every single week, sometimes more than once. Additionally, I was able to carve out more time to work on strategic activities, while empowering my team to make technical decisions on their own. I am now much less stressed and much more confident in my ability to perform in this new role. Denis is also great at adjusting the intensity of his coaching to what the coachee can take in the moment. As an introvert who is easily overwhelmed by too much stimulation, I truly appreciate it. I highly recommend Denis and can't wait for the next coaching session!

I would highly recommend Denis, without hesitation, for his honesty, openness, challenging approach, and strong delivery orientation. Throughout our mentorship, I felt consistently supported by him. Denis truly guided me in solving problems, and on several occasions, he provided solutions directly by offering clear answers. Thanks to his guidance, I am now more focused on my priorities, more confident in my pricing strategy, and I know I can always reach out to him if I face any challenges. Thank you, Denis! ❤️

I feel lucky to have found Denis! He's been a huge help with all my struggles and pains. At first, I wasn't sure if I could trust him, given everything going on. But as we worked together, his crazy amount of experience really shone through. Once we started tackling my issues, I realized just how valuable his knowledge is. If you're dealing with stuff and need someone who knows their stuff, Denis is your guy!
