Damian Wasserman

Co-founder & Head of Sales

Damian Wasserman is the co-founder of BEON.tech, which he started in 2018 with Michel Cohen, and he leads the company’s sales team. Since then he has spent his days connecting leading US companies with top-tier engineers from Latin America. He has always been drawn to two things at once: the technical work of making things run and the business side of building something new, and technology has been the bridge that lets him create more than he could build with his own two hands. After several years away from hands-on coding, AI brought him back over the past two years, and he says he is now several times more productive than before. Today he builds something new almost every day, from integrations and automations to AI skills he shares with the BEON.tech team so the company can lead the way in how engineering teams work with AI. A member of the Forbes Technology Council, Damian writes about nearshore software development, staff augmentation, hiring engineers in Latin America, and how AI is changing the way engineering teams are built.

Continuous Integration for Remote Teams

In the pursuit of scaling an engineering team, the primary bottleneck is rarely the talent’s ability to write code, it is almost always the friction inherent in moving that code from a local environment to production. For a CTO managing a distributed workforce, this friction is amplified by geographical dispersion and the “hidden tax” of…

Why Senior Devs Are Quitting Freelance Work

The “gig economy” was marketed as the ultimate expression of professional freedom:A world where software engineers could hop from project to project, collecting languages like badges and invoices like trophies. The shine of the freelance hustle is wearing thin. Both the builders, the developers and the architects (the founders and CTOs) are realizing that the…

Why Top Tech Talent Prefers Dedicated Roles

For years, the conversation around “working from anywhere” was lumped into a single, monolithic category. But as we move further into the decade, the distinction between a casual freelance assignment and a professional career path has become a chasm. The debate around gig work vs full time work often gets framed from the talent’s perspective,…

RAG vs. Fine-Tuning vs. Agents (2026)

Every team building with LLMs hits the same fork in the road eventually: should we use RAG, fine-tune the model, or build an agent? The three options are frequently discussed as if they’re interchangeable, but they solve fundamentally different problems. Picking the wrong one doesn’t just add cost, it creates architectural debt that’s painful to…

Secure AI Development: Common Risks for Devs

AI tools have become a standard part of how software gets built. Code assistants, RAG pipelines, LLM-powered features—they’re everywhere. And as teams integrate AI into software engineering workflows, a quiet problem has been building: most teams aren’t treating AI-assisted development with the same security rigor they’d apply to everything else. A thread on r/devsecops put…
