Ismael understood the requirements and idea flawlessly, came up with new suggestions and edited the code mistakes.
His explanations were crystal clear. Going above and beyond to ensure I understood the concept.
Not just "ticking a box" but really caring about my understanding of a concept.
Every code mentor should be like this.
Thank you Ismael.
