Azzam first analyzed my current situation and then gave his professional opinion on how to approach my studying and what topics to focus on (since I was feeling overwhelmed and not sure exactly which path to take). Now, after only 2 weeks, Azzam has greatly helped in directing my studies to the right direction and still helps with the material on our weekly calls.

"Very Highly recommended! I have been working with Jason for just under 9 months now and he has been an invaluable asset to me and my start up. Before finding him I worked with other 3 mentor figures and the difference was abismal, for the first time I had somebody that was actually interested in seeing me succeed and not just the pay. During one of our meetings Jason told me 'My biggest success is your success' I don't think there is much more you can ask. Jason has become a person that I can rely on and trust, I would go as far as to say that my company wold not be where it is today if it were not for Jason. He is extremely knowledgeable, and up to date with the lates information, and when he is not, he is very transparent about his level of expertise in a particular matter. In addition to his vast practical knowledge, he always makes me feel like I am able to accomplish what we set out to do; and even when I inevitably make mistakes he is always ready with a more tragic story to help me put things in perspective and find the fuel to keep on going. Working with Jason has been one of the best business decisions I have made, and I am sure it will be the same also for you. Best of luck, Carla "

"I'm a math teacher, that wanted to switch to data science, but honestly, I didn't know where to start. Anastasia took the time to understand my background and what kind of jobs I was interested in. She didn't just focus on getting me any job; she helped me figure out where I wanted to go in the world of data science. Our talks were really helpful. We discussed my skills, what I liked, and what I didn't and through these talks and some exercises, I developed an understanding of what I really want to do. What I loved most about working with her was the support. Finding a job is tough, and there were moments when I felt a bit lost. But Anastasia was always there, cheering me up. She shared so many useful things with me - study materials, tips for interviews, guiding me till the very last step - it felt like having a friend who genuinely wanted to help. I highly recommend Anastasia. "

"Throughout our mentorship, Abhishek has not just given technical interviews, but provided specific feedback, homework, and resources afterward based on growth opportunities he's seen during our sessions. Likewise, Abhishek showcases an incredible depth of understanding as a UI Engineer, and has an uncanny ability at finding the right opportunity areas for others to grow. I really look forward to my weekly mentor sessions with Abhishek, though he gives plenty of actionable feedback throughout the week via Slack: from code reviews of recent work, to debriefs of code challenges, to thoughts on best practices. As a kind person with an immense generosity of spirit, Abhishek is the type of person who makes the world a better place just by being in it. I am lucky to have him as a mentor and I would 100% recommend him to anyone looking to level up their skills as a software engineer."
