Berenice's EdTech Offer + Journey as a Full Stack Engineer & Consultant
15 Years in Tech - And Still Growing
Berenice began her career as a Java backend developer in Venezuela.
After relocating to Chile, she expanded into consulting, frontend, DevOps, and fullstack roles - leading projects end-to-end and learning how to align tech with business strategy.
“I intentionally moved across roles — backend, frontend, infrastructure — because I wanted to own the full product lifecycle.”
She spent many years in one company (Thoughtworks in LATAM), where she led delivery across diverse sectors and tech stacks - gaining deep architectural knowledge and agile best practices.
🎯 Why She Joined Our Community
Despite her experience, Berenice realised she hadn’t interviewed seriously in years.
“I hadn’t been interviewed in so long - I had no idea what to expect from current tech hiring processes.”
She joined our community to:
- Understand the modern hiring funnel
- Refresh her technical interview skills
- Reignite her career momentum
🔥 Cracking the EdTech Interview Process
Her recent successful interview process included:
- Architecture storytelling: Discussing how she’s tackled real-world product design challenges
- Live coding: Practising strategies and managing stress under pressure
- Technical project presentation: Explaining a self-developed implementation clearly and confidently
“DevAccelerator prepared me for each of these steps. From STAR-format answers to system design strategies, I felt ready for anything.”
💡 Lessons on the Market & Mindset
Her takeaways for engineers re-entering the job market:
- Expect live coding - even when it’s not explicitly stated
- Always prepare STAR stories - they’re now the default
- System design can happen early - not just at the final round
- Stay ready across all fronts - interviews are often unpredictable!
🎯 What’s Next for her?
Her goals now:
- Continue refining her skills in backend, frontend, and DevOps
- Stay up to date with AI-enhanced workflows
- Build high-impact products in collaborative teams
- Balance tech leadership with her role as a mother of two
“Being a mom makes this even more meaningful. It’s not just my growth - it’s about showing my kids what’s possible.”
