Vedang is a highly expert Clojure dev and was very helpful in explaining various options for my project. Thank you very much and can highly recommend.
Context: Pairing on setting up observability stack
Comments: Vedang patiently explained to me how should I think about observability in general, and what are potential choices in terms of stack and the data to collect. Then we setup the up the infra and he explained how should I move forward in the project. It was a productive pairing sesssion and I'll continue to work with him as a tech leader and thought partner.
Vedang was thoughtful and showed his ability to listen (first) while we spoke about the issue I had. He was able to break the challenge down into simpler actionable items.
Vedang as a mentor helped me with an approach to solve a problem related to my career I was facing . His insightful sessions are highly recommended for those who wants to take their software engineering career to the next level.
I am a software professional with 13+ years of experience. However, I was struggling with the people part of my job (being a senior entails working with the whole team and moulding them). Vedang gave me great tips and suggestions to be better at this new leadership role. Due to his precise insights, I was able to start small but show good impact in this role!
Looking forward to many more sessions with Vedang.
Vedang speaks from hard won industry experience. A constructive feedback loop like the one he created for me are rare, in my experience. Our session on backend development (a) gave me confidence that I am building the right understanding (b) created positive pressure to ship something soon (c) created a sense of accountability to this person, Vedang, who has acted in my interest. Apart from obvious love for software and programming, he has clearly invested himself in learning the art of coaching. He is not perfect, but he is very good. So I have left the fifth star empty, as friendly challenge, a stretch goal :)
Vedang helped me identify areas that I can focus on to improve myself and various paths that I can take to get myself unstuck in career. He also shared some good practices on reading books and gave some amazing book recommendations.
This was one of the most insightful note taking presentations I have seen. Many note taking ideas resonated with me and I'll surely be applying some of them.
