5 out of 5 stars
After graduating from university, I felt lost and lacked confidence in my coding skills, making it difficult for me to pursue a job in the industry. I was searching for help when I found Jake. He helped me rebuild my foundation and address my knowledge gaps. His tutorials were incredibly helpful in improving and refactoring my code, showing me how to do things better. Jake is an amazing mentor with deep industry knowledge, and he's also a kind person who truly understands you. Now, I know what I need to do to improve myself with tasks and goals that align with my path. I highly recommend him.
