About David García

Head of Engineering at CENSE AG

Hi, I'm David. I've spent 20+ years in software engineering and more than 15 years leading engineers, engineering managers and technical leaders across SaaS, payments, gaming, Web3 and large-scale digital products.

I've worked as an Engineering Manager, Head of Engineering, Director and VP of Engineering, leading teams of up to 30 people and helping engineers grow into senior, staff, lead and management roles.

I especially enjoy mentoring people who are at an inflection point in their career: strong engineers wondering what comes next, senior engineers trying to increase their impact or new managers figuring out how to lead effectively without losing their technical identity.

I can help you with: Growing from Senior Engineer toward Staff / Principal roles. Transitioning from individual contributor to Engineering Manager. Becoming a stronger technical or people leader. Increasing your influence and impact beyond writing code. Navigating career decisions, promotions and leadership opportunities. Managing teams, performance, feedback and difficult conversations. Engineering organization, delivery and team effectiveness. Staying technically relevant as your leadership responsibilities grow.

My mentoring style is practical and candid. Rather than giving generic career advice, I'll help you think through your specific situation, identify the options and trade-offs and leave the session with concrete next steps.
