I recently had a 1 hour session with Jake on debugging and performance analysis in VSCode & Chrome. I found the experience to be incredibly valuable. Jake was incredibly knowledgeable and able to explain complex concepts in a clear and concise manner. He showed me various tools and techniques for identifying and resolving performance issues, and even helped me troubleshoot a specific problem I was having with my code. The hands-on approach of the session allowed me to immediately apply what I had learned, which helped me to better understand the material. Overall, I would highly recommend this session to anyone looking to improve their debugging and performance analysis skills in Chrome.

Jake has been helped me fast track my skills and career in a way I didn't think was possible. I used to have knowledge gaps, but not anymore! Never felt more comfortable in this industry!
