Hey there! I am a polyglot software engineer with a breadth of experience in various programming languages and frameworks, and in both big (Amazon big) and small company sizes (less than 10!). My passions are specifically around **backend engineering** in the **Web3** space and would especially love to help those who share these passions!
**My biggest strength is my teaching style**. Having been a teacher in almost every professional position as a software engineer (and also in my free time), I can patiently and eloquently describe the problems that you are facing and will help you reframe your thinking in order to maximize your learning.
No blocker is unsolvable! **Your growth is my ultimate focus and reward for spending time on this platform**.

Node Management: Your insights on process isolation and communication helped us manage node failures effectively. Testing: You assisted in developing automated tests for operations like FIND_NODE and STORE_VALUE, ensuring thorough coverage. Retry and Caching: Your advice on retry logic and caching strategies, including exponential backoff and LRU caching, made these implementations more robust. Distributed Systems: Your explanations of principles like the CAP theorem clarified how to balance consistency and availability in our Kademlia implementation. Impact on Development: Your mentorship greatly enhanced my understanding of distributed systems and improved my problem-solving skills. The successful implementation of key features and concepts was directly due to your guidance. Conclusion: Your mentorship has been highly effective and deeply appreciated.

I've had five sessions with Howard so far. He is technically very strong, with especially impressive skills in Solidity and Go. I am a dev, was looking to advance my skills in Web3 development. What sets him apart is his teaching style and patience. He never made me feel like my questions are too basic. He helped me a lot with understanding backend engineering logic for Web3 projects. He can explain complex concepts in a simple clear way. I've learned a lot from him.
Mentees who work with a mentor for 3+ months reach their goals 2x faster than those going it alone. Long-term mentorship means fewer false starts, more focused sessions, and support that builds week after week.
