Officially Providing Mentoring to Participants of the Upcoming KendoReact Free Components Challenge
https://dev.to/devteam/join-the-kendoreact-free-components-challenge-5000-in-prizes-2896 For the benefit of those that are not aware of my background, I started as a software developer back in 2005. I first discovered my interests and passion for Telerik's products in early 2006. Since then, I've been able to establish myself as a products expert when it comes to nearly all things Telerik. Since then, I have also work for and collaborated with the brand for just over a decade. In that time, I have also traveled around Asia Pacific, mentoring and coaching other front-end developers & aspiring UX engineers. Earning my Reputation & Paying It Forward Over the years, because of my experiences, I've had the privilege to participate in past contests and hackathons, sometimes by myself and other times as part of a small team of 2-3 devs. And yes, I have won a number of those competitions. Since then, I found that I have greatly benefitted from the recognitions. Therefore I want to use this opportunity to finally pay it forward. As a front-end dev specialist and someone that is also skilled in UX engineering, I want to offer my mentoring for free to any and all participants that might be interested. Goal: The goal is to help you be one step closer to winning that prize money.
