Pedro Santos

Pedro is an exceptional mentor—patient, encouraging, and never patronizing. He excels at helping you think about the bigger picture and weigh the tradeoffs between different approaches. His mentorship program is thoughtfully designed, featuring heuristics, engaging presentation materials, and a set of carefully curated progressive katas. Sometimes we paired on these katas, while other times I worked on them independently and received valuable feedback from Pedro. This approach made the learning process both practical and collaborative. Under his guidance, I developed a strong foundation in the core agile technical practices essential for thriving as a software developer on an agile team. I highly recommend him to anyone looking to grow their skills and mindset.
