My Resume

"Ive known about Mark for a while through his React courses, I reached out to him to help me start architecting an app I am building as a side project. He was awesome! I got answers to alot of the areas of this project that I was unfamiliar with and we planned out a way to get the project going. Really looking forward to continuing to work with him."

Michael Thompson

"Mark has a wealth of knowledge and expertise that is hard to find. Perfect mentor in many ways: clear and concise communication, reliable and a great teacher. I highly recommend working with him if you need help."

Jelena Grimshaw

"Wow, Mark has really proved himself to be an expert in many ways. Definitely worth the investment and here's why: Pros: He works really fast, gave me some really helpful tips, explained me everything through meaningful examples and even improved some parts of already existing code in a way which makes them more clean and usable. Cons: I only wish the session was longer as I am looking forward to another one :)"

Daniel Star

"I've used Mark a couple times. He is awesome! I've been using Rails, etc for 7+ years but I still get hung up once in a while...Mark knows his $h!. I won't search for mentors anymore...I'll just use Mark."

Adam Stockland

"Mark really knows his code. TDIL why implementing certain react features is preferred, and how certain design decisions are more performant. Mark is an interesting coder and skilled at teaching. I recommend him to anyone."

James Anderson

"I usually have more conceptual questions on Codementor and Mark came in with a good idea of what it was that I was very confused about and was quick to direct me to the concepts that I was missing. We discussed ActiveRecord (pattern, not gem). What to pass in a RESTful API to reduce cognitive load When to use objects and when to use serialized IDs as function parameters."

Stephen Huh

"Mark has been helping us daily with my website for about a week now and I would confidently recommend him to any peer looking for someone who is a fast developer, strong communicator and honest worker. "

Jack Bordner

"Really great! Mark walked me through a tricky issue I was basing off of legacy code, and came up with a much more intuitive workaround I can jump off from. Both of the issues I posted for help about were solved, and I came away with a decent toolkit to deal with some performance issues in both my code and my computer."

BoucherieDev 💾

"Mark is so good at JavaScript and React (and Redux). He immediately knows how to address the task at hand and then starts throwing down code. I really appreciate his positive attitude and the time he takes to walk me through the work."

Ashley

"Mark was very helpful in debugging a React/Redux issue. He quickly isolated an issue and that helped uncover some other problems that needed attention. He also helped after the session by providing links and references to other skilled devs."

Sam

"Mark has helped me several times at this point and is always quick and knowledgeable and writes great code (despite my usual, annoying lack of A/V for my sessions). He's worth the higher price because you know he knows what he's doing! Thanks as always, Mark!"

Ashley

"Mark is great. Not only did he solve the problem I had, but before the session began I was having trouble with my screen sharing -- and he actually paused the session and discovered the problem with my computer. Once we fixed my computer, then we started the session and he solved my problem quickly. Moreover, he's a fun guy and I would enjoy his company regardless."

Jackson Holiday Wheeler

"Mark understands everything very quickly and tries to make things as easy as possible for me to understand. Also answers questions effectively. Helped me understand how shopify web builder works and started building it using rails."

Masud

"Mark is a great mentor! He's super knowledgable and as a student I appreciate his ability to explain concepts clearly. I can tell he really cares about my learning and progress. He is fair and makes sure I'm getting value from my sessions. Highly recommended!"

steve chek

"Mark was extremely helpful. Not only did he take the time to understand the problem before starting the session, he explained what he was doing and why during the session and also paused the session once it became clear that I could move forward on my own. I recommend him 100%."
