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.

For many executives, the phrase “vibe coding” lands somewhere between tech slang and Silicon Valley humor. It sounds informal, almost unserious — but the reality behind it is anything but. Coined by AI researcher Andrej Karpathy, vibe coding describes a shift in how software is built: instead of writing code line-by-line, engineers describe intent in…
The software development trends that will shape 2027 all trace back to one shift. AI agents are moving from the editor into the delivery pipeline. That changes how teams are sized, where the bottlenecks sit, what software costs to run, and which risks engineering leaders own. The data points to ten trends: agentic coding, a…
While the U.S. and China dominate the AI landscape, Latin America is rapidly emerging as a major talent hub. With a population nearing 700 million and a growing focus on STEM education, the region offers an attractive alternative for CTOs and tech recruiters looking to hire AI developers. In North America and Europe, the race…
As more U.S. companies scale their engineering capacity through nearshore software development, two markets consistently lead the conversation: Chile and Peru. Both countries have become high-value destinations for outsourcing to Latin America, offering access to skilled engineers, strong cultural alignment with U.S. teams, and real-time collaboration across nearly identical time zones. Yet when comparing Chile…
As more U.S. companies expand their engineering teams through nearshore talent, two Latin American countries consistently stand out: Brazil and Colombia. Both offer strong technical talent, competitive compensation ranges, cultural compatibility, and aligned time zones — all critical advantages when building distributed engineering teams. But choosing the right market requires a nuanced assessment of workforce…
In 2021, we started BEON.tech with a simple but strong idea: to build a bridge between the most innovative companies in North America and the exceptional, yet often overlooked, engineering talent in Latin America. We set out to do more than offer a service—we aimed to establish a new benchmark for integrated, high-performance teams. To…
Data sovereignty has become a top concern for CTOs and tech leaders in the US and globally. In an era of cloud computing and AI, companies must navigate a maze of laws dictating who controls data and where it can reside. Failing to address data sovereignty isn’t just a compliance issue – it’s a business…
Artificial intelligence is transforming how businesses operate, from automating processes to improving decision-making. Yet alongside AI’s promise comes a spectrum of new risks – ethical, legal, and operational – that organizations must address. Recent surveys show AI adoption is soaring. According to McKinsey, over 78% of companies use AI in some form, even as many…
Revenue Operations (RevOps) is no longer just a buzzword—it’s becoming the backbone of modern SaaS and tech growth. By breaking down silos between sales, marketing, and customer success, RevOps creates one engine that drives predictable and scalable revenue. And here’s the kicker: by 2026, 75% of the fastest-growing companies will run on RevOps. That’s huge.
