Working with Elias has been a transformational experience. I came to him as someone with little to no knowledge of programming or software engineering experience. From our first engagement to now - Elias has provided me professional guidance in how best to position myself for a career change into software engineering and technical guidance on specific implementation details of different applications I'm working on. I can confidently say that I would not be on this path if I had not approached Elias about my situation. He is empathetic, knowledgeable, and pragmatic. He asks surgically precise questions that can cut right through all of the emotional noise and stress that comes with investing in a career change, bringing a level of clear thinking that has been so critical in shoring up my own sense of decisiveness and confidence. I think anyone looking to grow as a software engineer or looking to become one as I am stands to learn a lot from Elias - if not from his robust technical expertise then at least by adopting his way of thinking.
