Products, Not Code! 

Profile

My name is Mina Demian. I'm a full-stack engineer. I've led teams, mentored engineers, and built platforms across startups, government, and enterprise. I care about systems that actually work.

I believe that code and technology are tools and not the end. I maintain an agnosticism about technology, which helps me focus on using the right tool for the job. With the right tools, focus, and strategy, technology helps us build the right product!
