You can definitely achieve your goals with him, and I'm definitely on the way to achieve mine, thanks Howard.

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.

I've had five sessions with Howard so far. He is technically very strong, with especially impressive skills in Solidity and Go. I am a dev, was looking to advance my skills in Web3 development. What sets him apart is his teaching style and patience. He never made me feel like my questions are too basic. He helped me a lot with understanding backend engineering logic for Web3 projects. He can explain complex concepts in a simple clear way. I've learned a lot from him.
