Michal is great to work with. He always takes the time to understand the task at hand before going forward. What's most important is he always takes the time to make sure I understand what he is doing as he is solving a problem. He has been really helpful in helping me learn React. I definitely recommend hiring him as a code mentor.

Michal was great to work with. He took his time before the session to make sure he fully understood the request, and did the necessary setup. During the session was able to watch him code as he explained what he was doing. He made sure the solution was working well before signing off. Would definitely use him again.
