Ziad is a professional's professional. Extremely lucid and efficient explanations and mastery of the tools and materials. I asked him to help me through a challenging period at work and it has been completely invaluable.

Ziad showed me how to use react-redux-firebase. We were able to get a prototype up and running so I could build the application logic.

One of the best developers I have worked with on codementor. Worth every penny. Very knowledgeable in javascript and node.js

I've hired Ziad so many times. If I wrote a review every time he saved the day, we'd run out of storage on this site. Ziad is an amazing teacher as well as a problem solver, especially for React, TypeScript, and Redux. He's also teaching me about Mobx, so consider him an expert for all these web technologies.

Once again Ziad's expertise accelerated my progress tremendously. I needed a React Component that looks like a file viewer. I didn't know to make one that looked really good. Within 2 hours, Ziad had guided me through the whole process including fine-tuning the CSS classes to make it pixel-perfect. He also helped me debug a challenging bug I had introduced into my redux code.

Ziad showed me how to turn my prototype into a product. It looks beautiful now because he showed me how to apply Material UI properly to my TypeScript webapp.

Ziad accelerated my learning tremendously. I needed help converting a JavaScript web app to TypeScript. He explained everything I needed to know to fix all of the bugs I had introduced by blindly following online tutorials. His knowledge of web technology is encyclopedic. Any question I had about TypeScript, Material UI, React, and Redux he was able to answer instantly and clearly. I highly recommend Ziad if you need to come up to speed on one of these technologies quickly.
