In Peyton's own words:

"Riccardo is the best software mentor I have ever had. He was able to assist me in coding issues with personal projects, technical and behavioral interview prep and job hunt strategies. He provided regular checkins every week, and it is his job search strategies and support that landed me my current position as a Full Stack engineer."
