About
When I started my career I had lots of questions, sometimes I was confused about which direction to take, and which skills to pick up. After a while, I found someone who gave me direction and goals, who saw the future of my career and helped me reach my goals faster by taking the right path.
Now, I am here to be that person for many other engineers who needs it. This is a paid program, which means you and I will need to put in the effort and make your dreams come true. I did lots of volunteering/free mentorship, but mostly my mentees are not that serious since they get it for free. Here I deal with engineers who really want to change and revolutionize their career path.
A bit about me though,
I'm a computer scientist who worked as a software engineer, engineering manager and software architect with many different companies. I also taught computer science topics and mentored many engineers through Hours of Code, Built By Girls and many other programs.
I am a huge advocate for growth skills impacts on career growth and would like to share this knowledge with you all.
So let's get started. :)

Naz is one of the best mentor that I worked with. I was very lucky to find her and change my career path. You will be on the right track with the right discipline under her watch. She is very organized. You will be in an excellent position if you listen to her and follow what she says. It is a shame on me that I can only give 5 starts. Thank you Naz.

I was working in a position that wasn't fulfilling and diminished my technical skills to a point where I questioned if I could even continue being a software developer. I didn't feel confident coding, understanding bugs, or feeling I could be autonomous. But I decided to take a chance and leave my position and pursue a mentorship full-time. I wanted to learn something current, fulfilling, and enjoyable in order to bring more to the table as a developer to a company and feel well-rounded as a developer myself. So I decided on the JavaScript/React/Node space. I chose Naz because not only were her technical skills impressive but so was the way she looked at mentoring and teaching. When I began my time with Naz, we started from the ground up. I went from a basic understanding of JavaScript to tackling React and Node projects where I could guide myself into learning more when knowledge gaps arose. Naz helped me understand my learning patterns and areas to improve. I even took on new challenges like blogging on Medium or helping others with coding in my spare time. It's honestly amazing this was all within the span of 6-9 months. I feel so much more self-sufficient and was able to overcome a lot of my insecurities as a developer. Because of my time with Naz, I am entering my latest role as a full-stack JavaScript engineer at a startup! This is something I couldn't imagine myself doing prior to this experience and honestly, I encourage any developer that is struggling with direction to take on a mentorship program because not only will you understand more technically, but you will understand more about yourself and your abilities!
