Elliot Evans

I'm a self-taught developer working in a startup company, I didn't have the opportunity to work with experienced developers. I wanted to find a good mentor online so to MentorCruise, I'm fortunate to be matched with Elliot. I've now spent more than two months with Elliot, He's great as a person and also has lots of knowledge in full-stack development, in which I lacked enough experience. I've been introduced to many industry-standard concepts and toolings for full-stack development. I'm also learning project and team management, and the collaboration side of the development teams from Elliot, he has worked with many teams. Leading development at a small startup presented unique challenges, as I encountered areas outside my previous experience. Thankfully, Elliot's mentorship over the past two months has been invaluable. Elliot has also spent hours helping me set up JIRA, MonoRepo, do architectural designs, agile methodologies and much more. I'm planning to spend a couple more months with Elliot and with this learning rate, I will be able to lead the development team in much better ways. I am incredibly grateful for Elliot's mentorship. His support has significantly improved my understanding of full-stack development, and team management and equipped me with valuable tools and knowledge to progress my journey.
