Helped me in getting more insight about how NodeJs applications work, how to optimise an app and get real time analytics on how my api's are performing. Gave really good advice on learning and growing as a developer. Shared great resources that would aid towards better learning.

Understands Node.Js really well and best practises around it. Helped me set up git hooks to enforce rules that would guide teams and code refactoring to suite best practises.
