ABOUT ME

Australian based RoR/Angular JS developer with a passion for helping others learn.

I am an Australian based Ruby on Rails/Angular JS developer who loves helping others realise their passion for development. I pride myself on being able to explain things in a clear and concise manner and in keeping things fun. I primarily work in helping newer developers find their feet but am also very adept at bug fixing in more advanced applications.

I have used git as part of my work flow for many years now. While I would not call myself an expert in it, I am very confidant that I can mentor anyone to get them to a suitable skill level in a very short amount of time.

Just had an excellent mentor session with James! James is highly experienced and knowledgeable in his programming expertise (RoR, AngularJS, etc.) while also being a clear and effective communicator plus a resourceful and quick problem solver. He was able to understand my request (re: a rails controller issue) very quickly with minimal explanations from me, and solved two bugs in just a few minutes for me, which has helped me quickly move on to the next stage of my coding process. James also exemplifies an impressive degree of attention to details, patience and consideration. He is ready to go the extra miles in helping me solve problems and understand concepts; and he constantly tries to help me get the most out of every second of the mentor session. Apart from solving bugs, chatting with him on different general technical topics was also very productive and educational during our mentor session. Very fortunate to have James as a mentor to help out (especially when this is my first mentor session on codementor which has boosted my confidence in using codementor for the long-term). Would definitely consult James again in the near future. My sincere thanks to him again!
