This session Andrew and i worked on hard skills of utilizing the tools at hand to do the investigative work. He was exceptionally patient with me in walking me through this - thopugh i know it must've been painful. I cannot say enough good things about the personal and professional development I get from my sessions with Andrew!

Andrew already showed himself to be knowledgeable and helpful in hard skills, but my latest session showed at how great he is at helping to develop soft skills as well. He definitely empowered me to know that the things i was concerned were invalid were objectively valid, and to stop allowing problems to become bigger with inaction for fear of consequences of action.

Andrew is very patient and positive, and allows me to think through problems while not making me feel inadequate if I dont know. Very encouraging, and explains solutions in a very easy to understand way. I'm learning about how to communicate problems and things more concisely through him, as well as improving my React/TS Skills.

Mahana Therapeutics makes apps providing cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) for people dealing with chronic issues, such as IBS. I maintained their web product whose core demographic was UK-based National Health Service (NHS) mental health facilities, called IAPT, providing an 8-session curriculum and therapist supervision for UK patients to improve their chronic issues. This web product then received FDA clearance to pave the way for US mobile app development and rollout.
