The prospect of building a tool seemed both exciting and daunting. I have no software development skills but have a lot of experience in marketing and advertising. That's where Jeff came in, helping me navigate this new challenge. At the start, I wasn't sure if I could really do this because I knew only a little about software development. But Jeff was encouraging and knew how to make things simple for me. He could simplify complex tech ideas into something I could understand. No matter when I needed help, Jeff was there to guide me through each step, making sure I was keeping up. He helped me piece together my project from understanding what I needed to do, who to hire, how to manage developers and how to design it well. It was challenging, but Jeff's practical tasks and clear explanations helped me apply what I was learning directly to building the tool. There were moments when I felt overwhelmed and considered stopping. However, Jeff was always a supportive mentor. He encouraged me to think like a problem solver, which really helped me push through the tough times. The tool I built with Jeff's help is finally live. It represents not just a functional product but my growth in a new field. I'm looking forward to improving it further, using the foundations he helped me build. For anyone new to tech, having a mentor like Jeff ca be transformative. It’s about more than learning new skills; it’s about building confidence and learning to tackle challenges head-on. I started with experience in marketing and now, thanks to Jeff, I’ve turned that into a successful venture into technology.

I had a short 30 minute session with Jeffrey (resume review). With this short time he was able to produce many valuable tips and comments, and add some good advice on top of that, which in total gave me tremendous value. I intend to seek Jeffrey’s help in the future, because every minute talking with him is worth spending (both in time and monetary).
