Recent Review
View All Reviews(16)They were very precise and practical in their approach which is similar to mine. They had tons of experience in building large applications and at scale, something i would like to learn from them and they were also aiming to provide the same. Its important to have a mentor who can show and keep a mentee on the right path, which i believe would be the case while working with them, especially the non technical aspects and a experienced/mature point of view.
