Based on 10 verified mentee reviews
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**.

I got into my dream job because of Howard. I received mentorship on building in Web3, rust development and overall software engineering. To me it was super helpful to get expert advice throughout my learning journey, especially on topics that online resources couldn't resolve. The pair programming exercises helped me build confidence in confronting difficult coding issues with composure, as I got lots of practice analyzing various errors and drilling down to root causes. I went far beyond my comfort zone and was able to implement things I didn't think I could do.
