My experience with Mark has been excellent so far. I contacted Mark because I wanted to change careers and become a web developer. I had some experience under my belt but just small projects with no guidance. Mark provided that guidance and much more. I am still under Mark's wing and still learn new things every week during our calls even months down the line. He also provides me with support through texting and email if I need something in a pinch. I would highly recommend Mark if you're trying to advance your programming skills regardless of prior experience.

I have been working with Mark for a couple of months now and it has been great! Mark is friendly and responsive, and has helped me feel more confident in the direction I'm taking my projects. As a self-taught developer who is still learning, it is so helpful to have a knowledgeable professional to point me in the right direction. Mark has helped me a great deal in both improving my coding skills but also in helping me to start thinking about the tech industry hiring process as a whole as I attempt to transition careers. Most importantly to me, he has helped me get out of the "tutorial after tutorial" cycle and into building real projects that I care about. If you're considering trying a mentor, I highly recommend Mark.
