Everyone that wants to make great software should be able to. I can help you learn to make apps with the features you want and explain exactly how they work.

Ten months in, and I can say with full confidence that working with David was one of the best investments I made in my development as a programmer. When I started, I was someone learning to code independently with no real roadmap. David gave me something that is hard to find: the actual tools and workflows that professionals use, not a watered-down version of them. He never dumbed things down or made me comfortable in a way that kept me small. He consistently pushed me toward the highest leverage work and trusted me to rise to it. What stood out most over the long run was his patience and his humanity. Programming is an emotionally demanding craft, and David understood that. During stretches that were difficult not just technically but personally, he showed up with the kind of kindness that goes beyond the job description. I will always be grateful for that. After ten months I have reached a point where I feel equipped to move forward on my own, and that is entirely because of the foundation he helped me build. That is the best thing you can say about a mentor. If you are serious about growing as a developer and want someone who will treat you like a professional from day one, David is the person.
