Working with Alex was such a gift. Not only is he an excellent mentor and guide, but he's out there living the advice he gives. He so kindly met me where I was, guided me with the next bite-sized step forward, and above all else, listened to what I was saying and responded in kind. Alex always talks about sharing the information he wished he'd known as a newbie software engineer - and he's out there doing just that. Helping future software engineers get where they want to go, one step at at time.

Alex is a person who truly believes in mentorship. Each time we met I was able to leave with an ordered list of what was working, what wasn’t, and ideas how I could move forward. He was very flexible with his time and was genuinely invested in my success. His career transition story, relevant work experience, combined with tips and tricks he picked up along the way helped me form realistic expectations during my job search and a practical path toward my future

Not only is Alex a great software engineer, he is also a wonderful person. He is always ready to jump on call and give advice, help with coding issues, job searches, negotiation skills, and everything else in between. I am so proud to call Alex a friend and fellow software engineer.

He makes the community better every day. I would definitely recommend talking with him if you can!

Connecting with Alex was one of the best decisions I've ever made for my career! I found Alex at a time where I was lost and self-doubting if I was able to keep pursuing my dream to become a developer. He listened to my story and carefully crafted a step-by-step game plan for my goal.

Alex also went over our scheduled time to share valuable lessons learned from his own career transition experience. Being able to consult with an experienced mentor like Alex who genuinely wants to help others succeed really gave me that confidence boost I was lacking. Not long after I was able to achieve my goal and I would recommend any future software engineer to talk to him if you have the chance!

I want to thank you, Alex, for helping, coaching, and putting me in the right direction. Without you, I would not have gotten the job. His mentorship is unique. What makes him unique is that he is really committed to helping you to succeed.

I am beyond grateful for finding him and for his help in breaking into this field. His kindness is beyond amazing. I have never met someone so committed to helping others like him. I have grown so much under his mentorship and I recommend him 200%.

Alex can see what I can’t. As a professional software engineer, who has been in my shoes, learning to code, and getting job-ready, he’s worked this path, and achieved success.

1) Genuine desire to help developers break into tech.

2) Knows code and coaching. Take advice from someone who can actually do the thing you want to do. He is a code wizard. Combine that with the gift of coaching, which is his strongest point, and he’s a secret weapon. Alex asks me questions that get me to a point of understanding. He doesn’t leave me stranded without help.

3) Work ethic/values. He works hard, on his own business, on the job, after hours. Observing someone like Alex, with his drive, propelled by the massive motivation to help others succeed is inspiring.

Choosing Alex as a coach has been the best decision of my coding journey. He ensures understanding, guides me, and sees the things I haven’t thought of. I hold him in the highest regard and recommend his coaching emphatically! …as I’ve heard him say, “Let’s go!”.
