Bio
Brent Strange
I had the privilege of working with and mentoring Demetri early in his GoDaddy career and was shocked at his skill and ability to accomplish ANY engineering task he set his mind to VERY quickly. As he and I moved in different directions within GoDaddy I watched him move quickly through the ranks with his humble, helpful and go-get-em attitude; especially in the AWS space. Honestly... I wasn't surprised to see this due to working with him prior. Demetri is in my top 10 engineers list and he will be a MAJOR asset a company.
