- Rahul about Yash Khandor


"My mentorship session was truly eye-opening. I had prepared a full long document with questions and contexts thinking it would take two sessions to answer all questions thoroughly - it didn't :). From the very start, he was an incredible listener, patiently allowing me to read out all the doc and voice all my questions and concerns. Then - to my amazement - he responded to 3/5 questions in one thoughtful, comprehensive answer. I knew that he had a wealth of experience, but the capacity to forsee all the interconnected questions and detail out a full experience from his past that had all the answers to my ruminating thoughts was a whole another level. Moshrif completely shifted my perspective on multiple points, showing me how to approach decsion-making with a clearer, more strategic mindset instead of giving me a "recommendation" based on my shared inputs. His advice was very practical. I came out with a series of "next steps" to immediately work on and so I did. I can take these learnings to apply beyond in other decision-making events. It still is astounding to me that he was able to pass on this awareness to me in just a single session. I listened to alot of podcasts regarding these topics before, but Moshrif's ability to deliver a personal anecdote with such a high relatibility to my current situation just made my mind "get it" and stick in a way that I can translate to actions now. From all my heart, thank you for going beyond in delivering and guiding ya Moshrif. Looking forward to our next session and to sharing my milestone updates with you in a couple of years :)!"

"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."

"I've been teaming up with Nestor for about two months now, diving into the world of data tracking to understand our customers better. With ten different websites in the mix, it's been quite the task! Nestor really knows his stuff when it comes to technical platforms like Google Tag Manager, Search Console, Google Ads, Google Analytics, Looker Studio, and other data platforms. But what's even better is his knack for explaining things. He can break down complicated topics into simple, easy-to-understand chunks. Plus, he's super patient and always makes sure I've got a handle on things before we move on. Learning from him has boosted not just my know-how but also my confidence in using these analytics tools. He is also a pro at teaching troubleshooting methods. Whenever something goes sideways, he's right there to walk me through the steps to fix it. And he doesn't just give me the answer; he shows me how to think critically so I can tackle similar issues on my own down the line. Learning these troubleshooting tricks from him has made me and the team way more confident in handling whatever comes our way. Nestor is also exceptionally skilled in advanced conversion tracking. He possesses an ability to not only set everything up but also to make sense of the overwhelming influx of data that follows. It's been a game changer for our marketing efforts, helping us figure out what really catches our customers' eyes and how to spend our budget smarter. I'm looking forward to keeping up the collaboration with Nestor and really mastering these digital marketing platforms."

"I have to say Abhishek is truly an exceptional mentor for anyone interested in becoming a better engineer. I was referred to him by another mentor on MentorCruise, and I couldn't be happier with the recommendation! His expertise in front-end development is outstanding, as he knows how to share knowledge in a way that's engaging and easy to understand. At the start of the mentorship, we devised a plan with tasks that were tailored to my goals, ensuring that every step we take is purposeful and aligned with what I wanted to achieve (preparing for job hunting), rather than just aimlessly wandering. As of now, the plan has been progressing smoothly and I am quite happy with the progress so far.

With Abhishek's guidance, I feel confident that I'm improving as a developer every day and I can't recommend him enough. Thanks, Abhishek!"
