Pair Programming with Denis

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 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!

Denis is an amazing mentor. He can zoom in and out of problems to help you navigate and manage complexity at every level. He's technically talented, thorough, has a sharp and curious mind, and is easy to talk to. I'm very pleased with my experience.

Denis is a great Mentor. He has a lot of experience in Microservices, DDD, Event Sourcing, Event Driven and High Load designs. Most importantly, in my opinion, Denis is great at explaining and discovering client’s problems. He does not give just yes/no replies to your questions. Questions occur because you missed something in the past and got wrong assumption/knowledge. And Denis works with that. Before you will get answer, Denis will lead you around your problem to show you future benefits and cons - this actually helps you to get answer yourself. And that builds strong understanding of what you need. It is also important to mention that Denis is honest and always prepares material before sessions as well.

Had a great experience during the last months that helped me to stand on my own. Thanks Denis, it was a plesure!
