Testimonials

I had an amazing experience with Joey as my mentor! He guided me through every step of product development, from identifying key problems to market analysis, UI mocks, and user stories. His calm and patient approach made the process smooth and stress-free, even as I started coding. He never rushed me and was always ready to pause the mentorship when I needed to focus on other things. His expertise and supportive attitude were invaluable. If you're looking for a knowledgeable, patient, and adaptable mentor who can take you from idea to implementation, I highly recommend working with him. Thank you, Joey, for everything!

Working with Joey over the last several months has been nothing short of fantastic. I’ve been so impressed at his commitment to helping me learn web development, and his willingness to go above and beyond to improve my learning journey. He is very knowledgeable about software engineering, and always patient when walking through a topic/bug I’m stuck on. You'd be lucky to have him as a mentor!

-- John-Paul

Joey made my very first foray into development a total breeze. I came to him with little more than an idea, but Joey was able to elicit the right details from me to get us moving down the runway immediately. Faster than I ever expected, he whipped up a proof of concept that inspired confidence and allowed me to iterate and improve the project in ways that I otherwise wouldn't have discovered.

From the get-go, Joey was an asset. He took the project on as his own and expertly guided me through the noise and confusion of building our MVP. The process felt clean and highly cost-effective due to Joey's experience, discernment, and skillset in software development as well as plain-language communication.

Congrats! You've found your guy.

I reached out to Joey for a basic prototype for my immigrant thought leadership platform. Joey was extremely responsive, and provided me a mock prototype pro-bono, without any payments, just so that I could be unblocked. His wireframe diagrams were clean, extremely slick, and helped me move extremely fast. I am a great believer in working with good human beings, and Joey is one of the few I would definitely advocate for. He is ethical, honest, helpful, and empathetic, and it is a pleasure to work with him and his team. I strongly recommend leveraging Joey & his team for any software architecture and implementation.

Joey was a great mentor! He was very understanding and patient, and was always willing to answer all of my questions even if I asked about the same concepts repetitively. His explanations were very clear and often accompanied by examples that helped give me a concrete understanding of the topics we were discussing. I also really appreciated that from the first meeting and throughout the mentorship, Joey had a clear (but also flexible) game plan on how he could help me improve over time.
