Zak on top of having knowledge on the subject that I was enquiring about, demonstrated to be a great person, which not only have the technical skills for the job but also possess awesome mentoring skills. I appreciated the fact that he was not only interested in helping me solve my technical challenge, but he lived me with a great lesson to apply to my day to day development.
