Single session with Andrey

When I first sought mentorship, I felt lost in my software development journey. Despite working with technologies like React, Rails, and JavaScript for two years, I lacked a strong foundation in fundamental concepts like data structures, networking, and client-server communication. I struggled with structuring my learning and making real progress, even though I had the time to invest. I needed guidance, clarity, and a structured path forward, Andrey provided exactly that. From the beginning, Andrey helped me refine my goals, pushing me to break them down into specific, actionable steps. He introduced frameworks and formats that helped me reason through my objectives and stay focused. His approach wasn't just about providing answers but about encouraging critical thinking. Through assignments and additional reading resources, he challenged me to engage deeply with the material and take ownership of my learning. What made this mentorship truly impactful was the communication. Andrey was always prompt, approachable, and genuinely interested, not just in my progress but also in me as a person. Being from Kenya, I appreciated how he took an interest in my background, which made our interactions even more comfortable and meaningful. Since working with Andrey, I now have a clear vision of my career path and structured steps to achieve my goals. I’ve gained confidence in asking questions and tackling challenges independently. His guidance has been instrumental in shaping both my mindset and my approach to learning. For anyone considering mentorship, I highly recommend it. Having a mentor like Andrey has been a game-changer, and I’m truly grateful for the experience.

Andrey is not only highly skilled technically but also excels at building meaningful conversations, even on unrelated topics. This ability helps to view problems and challenges from different perspectives, making the learning process much more insightful. He is an incredibly empathetic mentor who truly understands how to guide and support his mentees. His mentorship helped me quickly identify my weaknesses and objectively assess the skills I need to develop. His advice and approach make learning clear and effective. I’m happy to work with Andrey and highly recommend him as a great mentor!

Thanks to Andrey's guidance, I received a job offer after my Amazon interview! I had a great experience preparing for my Amazon interview with him. He's incredibly friendly and approachable, which made the whole process comfortable and stress-free. Andrey provided clear guidance and practical tips that were tailored to the Amazon interview process. He also conducted several mock interviews with me, which were incredibly valuable. These sessions gave me a clear understanding of what to expect in a real interview setting and helped me feel much more confident going in. I would definitely recommend Andrey to anyone preparing for an Amazon interview. His expertise, support, and commitment to helping candidates succeed make him an exceptional mentor. Thank you!

I am currently in the process of changing jobs and asked Andrey to conduct a behavioral mock interview. Andrey works for Amazon—a company that places significant emphasis on behavioral interviews during their hiring process. He has experience on both sides of the table, as an interviewer and as a job seeker, giving him a holistic understanding of what is required. He approached our mock interview with the seriousness of a real one, asking pertinent questions and challenging my responses. Afterwards, I received very detailed feedback highlighting areas for improvement. Additionally, Andrey provided me with tools and advice to enhance my storytelling skills. I've had several real behavioral interviews since our session, and the insights I gained from the mock interview with Andrey have been incredibly beneficial. Thanks, Andrey!

Andrey was incredibly helpful! We discussed a complex project with multiple teams. He had a great way of breaking down tough issues using a score model, making everything much clearer and easier to tackle. His insights and advice were spot on, and he took the time to make sure I fully understood the approach so I could apply it moving forward. I really appreciate his support and expertise—I’d highly recommend him to anyone looking for a mentor who makes complex challenges easier to solve!
