Experience

πŸ₯‘ Visual Learning "Developer Advocate" and career guide @ richstone.io || Software Engineer @Devex 🧑

Who

I'm helping entrepreneurs and companies to create features and get them deployed.

I also coach (aspiring) developers to level up their tech skills and to find a job (optionally, I help them relocating to Spain πŸ‡ͺπŸ‡Έ or Germany πŸ‡©πŸ‡ͺ with less hassle).

How

I am teaching in English πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ , German πŸ‡©πŸ‡ͺ , Russian πŸ‡·πŸ‡Ί , and Spanish πŸ‡ͺπŸ‡Έ
(yes, you guessed correctly, I'm speaking 4 languages and none of them well, especially since the computer languages joined in...)

I prefer in-person coaching if you somehow also happen to be in the beautiful city of Barcelona (Spain) :)


For long-term mentoring, I'm always on the lookout for a great understanding of the student's Why, a well-structured roadmap, quantifiable results, and tracking time.

For live support, I'll be super focused on your task, since the clock is ticking!
