5 out of 5 stars

Akram has been mentoring me for over half year now, helping me build stronger skills in DevOps. He gave me guidance and is always motivating and helping! He is a crucial part in my transition from being a simple developer to becoming a well-rounded software engineer with deeper and broader expertise.

I enjoy working with Akram. He has for sure a deep understanding of the topics I am looking for (DevOps, Cloud, Architecture) and I am really happy working with him. Originally I started diving into DevOps topics by online courses, but I got stuck at some point, as I didn't get any practical experience. Akram helps me a lot, he gives me tasks which prepare me for my further career in this area (e.g. structuring Terraform files, setting up + configuring Kubernetes cluster, etc.). I am really happy that I found him over Mentorcruise and I am looking forward to working with Akram also in the future!
