Andrey was extremely professional. I had a mock interview with me for System Designs. He took his time to understand my background and goals. The explained well how interviewers use the SD interview to rank seniority of candidates and how to properly showcase my seniority during the interviews. The feedback was clear, the content was deep, the execution and deliver of the session was flawless. It was perfectly tuned to my level and my needs. He was even able to come up with a question relevant to the company I will apply, and it is a non-faang company with a very niche product.

Working with Andrey was a truly valuable experience. From the very beginning, he demonstrated a high level of engagement and professionalism. His guidance helped me clearly define my goals and stay focused on achieving them. Thanks to his support, I was able to reach the milestones we set and now feel confident moving forward. Andrey is not only knowledgeable, but also genuinely invested in the success of those he mentors. I’m very satisfied with our collaboration and would gladly recommend him to anyone looking for a thoughtful and effective mentor.

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.
