Forward Deployed Operator Demo Day: Cohort 1
Join us for Demo Day from the first Forward Deployed Operator cohort, where 8 participants will present the projects they've built over the course of the program. If you're a hiring manager looking to identify strong technical talent, this is a chance to see candidates work through real problems and communicate their solutions directly.
Each presenter will walk through their build, the decisions they made, and the tradeoffs along the way. You'll get a clear sense of how they think, how they approach ambiguity, and how they operate under time constraints, all things that are hard to evaluate from a resume alone.
This session is run by Philip Lakin and Ysimer Gonzalez (co-founders of FDO School) and is a good opportunity to connect with candidates early, ask questions directly, and see their skills in action before they hit the job market.
