I reached out to John when I felt stuck in my role and lacked the confidence and structure to take the next step in my career. His continuous motivation, structured approach to building case studies, and detailed guidance helped me grow in my current role, create a strong portfolio, feel confident in interviews, and land my next role with ease. Working with John was a true investment in my professional growth, and I 100% recommend him to anyone looking for an excellent mentor and an honest, supportive relationship.

I was feeling a little disoriented with all the changes happening in tech (hello, AI 👀), and after 3+ years in my current role, I started losing focus, unsure whether to specialize further and in what area. I came back to John to talk things through, and as always, the session was super insightful. He asked thoughtful questions that helped me get to the root of my challenges, shared candid advice on what’s (not) worth pursuing based on his observations, and passed along a career strategy guide that gave me a clear path forward. (Plenty of homework after the session!) I’m looking forward to learning from him again soon, and would highly recommend him to anyone navigating career uncertainty or trying to level up with intention.

Thanks to his guidance, I built a compelling portfolio and presentation decks that truly showcased my skills. His detailed and focused preparation for interviews—including CV and LinkedIn, tackling whiteboard exercises, and app critique —set me up for success. With his support, I earned a promotion at my previous role, which boosted my confidence and later helped me get a job at the company I’ve always aspired to work for. John is not just a mentor—he’s your biggest supporter and cheerleader, with a genuine passion for helping his mentees succeed. His professionalism, wealth of experience, and ability to inspire made every session valuable and empowering. I wholeheartedly recommend John to anyone looking for mentorship.
