Tim was quickly able to figure out my problem in an area he, admittedly, was not too familiar with - Azure functions - and still work out a solution based on his experience. Explained things very well.

Definitely the BEST MENTOR I ever had!!!
Highly talented, very skilled, with deep knowledge in a bunch of different languages and libraries.
He did a wonderful job, I loved how he challenged me and even more how he encouraged me.
I learned tons of things in very short time and he was very honest with the price.
He gave me great recommendations, he was very patient and super responsive!
Looking forward to work with him again!
Highly recommended!!!!!
