Even though it’s only been about a month since I started working with Jascha, I already feel like I’ve grown so much as a developer and that’s entirely thanks to his mentorship. From day one, Jascha has been incredibly patient, clear, and genuinely excited to teach. He has this amazing way of breaking down complex topics, debugging tricky issues, or writing clean, maintainable code into small, understandable pieces. He doesn’t just teach how to do something, but really helps me understand why it matters, which has made a huge difference in how I approach problems. What I’ve appreciated most is how supportive and encouraging he’s been. Whether we're reviewing code or doing pair programming Jascha always creates space for me to think things through and come to my own conclusions. He doesn’t give out answers - he guides. And that’s helped me build real confidence in my thinking and decision-making. He also just “gets it" - he listens, meets me where I am, and knows how to push me just enough to grow without ever making me feel overwhelmed. That balance is rare, and it’s made me feel not only supported but also genuinely excited about learning more every day. Even in this short time, Jascha has helped me become more thoughtful with my code, more intentional in how I solve problems, and more confident in my potential as a developer. I’m incredibly grateful for his guidance and genuinely lucky to have him as a mentor.

I contacted Jascha to kick start my Python journey. Not only did I learn Python fundamentals, I developed a better understanding of my 'native' language, R, by contrasting it against Python. Jascha understands programming fundamentals on a deep level, below the syntax 'how to' of a specific language. Our conversations were wide reaching, pulling at any thread I wanted to pursue. Yet his recommendations are practical and hands-on as he guides you to focus on what matters and what to ignore. Skillfully framing up the big picture and then diving into the nitty gritty makes him an exceptional teacher. His style is fluid, conversational, and relaxed, and our sessions were fun. I recommend him highly, especially if you are the type of person who likes to delve more deeply and get it right vs "just make it work" (although there is a place for the latter!).

Jascha really takes the pain to deliver. He is a thorough professional, extremely knowledgeable at his craft and ensures your objectives are met. Highly recommended if you wish to level up your software engineering game!
