10.March 2023As a software developer actively looking for new job opportunities, I was primarily seeking guidance on that front in our session. However, Ricardo went above and beyond in his approach to helping me. Not only did he provide excellent insights and advice on how to improve my job search, but he also offered helpful tips on how to enhance my professional presence and profile on LinkedIn. He genuinely cared about helping in any way he possibly could, drawing from his extensive experience and knowledge to do so. His friendly and approachable personality blow me away and made it easier to discuss any concerns or questions that I had. I would highly recommend Ricardo to anyone seeking mentorship in any area of their professional career as a software professional. Thank you, Ricardo, for our mentoring session!

31.March 2023Ricardo was excellent. Very easy to talk to and super informative. He was happy to let the session go in any direction I wanted, but also asked some great questions to help identify areas of weakness and improvement for me. After our session Ricardo followed up with some useful resources and further learning opportunities. Overall I really enjoyed the session, would happily recommend Ricardo as a mentor and look forward to speaking to him in the near future.
