Devin was initially brought in by Madison for a short-term project. His performance earned him a QA role, which evolved into a QA Team Lead position. Within a year and four months of joining Sapien, he was promoted to Project Manager, a meteoric rise powered by trust and internal mentorship.
Devin was working in life insurance during the COVID-19 peak, finding the work emotionally draining. Sapien represented not just a career shift, but a mental reset. “It wasn’t just a job; it was something I actually looked forward to.”
One of Devin’s high points came during a high-pressure project with tight deadlines. He worked 12-hour days for nearly a week. The project was delivered on time, and client feedback praised the quality of the data. “All that work meant something—and that feedback made it worth it.”
Devin credits much of his progression to the small moments of acknowledgment from his leads. “They didn’t just say ‘good job.’ They showed me a path and said, ‘we believe you can take it.’ That’s something I’d never had before.”
