Testimonials

Darin Palombo

"From the very beginning of the Bootcamp I had serious doubts as to how I could possibly overcome the challenge that laid in front of me. Even though I chose to take the course, once it started I had no confidence that I was "smart enough" to get through it. This is where Matt came in and lifted me and many of my classmates from the dark places our minds can go when stuck in a mental dead-end. Firstly, he did this by providing fundamental explanations and examples on the concepts and materials we were going over any given day. Secondly, aside from providing first class technical help he was a huge motivator for the entire class. His soft skills are top tier, Matthew's attitude, personality and humor is what every company needs to cultivate an amazing team environment!"

"First starting this boot camp, I wasn’t really sure what to expect. My first homework assignment I got recked. As you all know lmao. Matt, helped me out and put central grading in their place. Throughout the course of the boot camp, Matt continuously showed support to me and many other students. I can’t think of a time where Matt was like, “...figure it out yourself”. Although he probably spent to much time on us haha. Like a caring parent, he was there for all his children. When you first joined the discord I was like ... our privacy is a little exposed because we have a TA in here. I’m really happy you were as involved as you were. I’m happy to have had you around with us in the discord. Towards the end you became more of a friend than someone to be intimated by. How you helped me on my first assignment you also helped me on my last. Thanks for everything Matt. Best TA NA, EU, KR, RU, bottom and top half of the hemisphere."
