Andrey Stolbovsky

When I first sought mentorship, I felt lost in my software development journey. Despite working with technologies like React, Rails, and JavaScript for two years, I lacked a strong foundation in fundamental concepts like data structures, networking, and client-server communication. I struggled with structuring my learning and making real progress, even though I had the time to invest. I needed guidance, clarity, and a structured path forward, Andrey provided exactly that. From the beginning, Andrey helped me refine my goals, pushing me to break them down into specific, actionable steps. He introduced frameworks and formats that helped me reason through my objectives and stay focused. His approach wasn't just about providing answers but about encouraging critical thinking. Through assignments and additional reading resources, he challenged me to engage deeply with the material and take ownership of my learning. What made this mentorship truly impactful was the communication. Andrey was always prompt, approachable, and genuinely interested, not just in my progress but also in me as a person. Being from Kenya, I appreciated how he took an interest in my background, which made our interactions even more comfortable and meaningful. Since working with Andrey, I now have a clear vision of my career path and structured steps to achieve my goals. I’ve gained confidence in asking questions and tackling challenges independently. His guidance has been instrumental in shaping both my mindset and my approach to learning. For anyone considering mentorship, I highly recommend it. Having a mentor like Andrey has been a game-changer, and I’m truly grateful for the experience.

Thanks to Andrey's guidance, I received a job offer after my Amazon interview! I had a great experience preparing for my Amazon interview with him. He's incredibly friendly and approachable, which made the whole process comfortable and stress-free. Andrey provided clear guidance and practical tips that were tailored to the Amazon interview process. He also conducted several mock interviews with me, which were incredibly valuable. These sessions gave me a clear understanding of what to expect in a real interview setting and helped me feel much more confident going in. I would definitely recommend Andrey to anyone preparing for an Amazon interview. His expertise, support, and commitment to helping candidates succeed make him an exceptional mentor. Thank you!
