Ray is legit. Came with half baked idea for a solidity contract but was struggling to put the pieces together to make it happen (due to lack of experience). He broke it down for me in an understandable way & quickly. I had other calls with 2 different mentors who said it wasnt possible... Now time to implement :) Thanks!

I wasted hours (30'ish), trying to solve an image upload challenge. Ray not only new what to look for, what to ask, but also did some scouting on the SaaS provider I was connecting to Xano. He knew what to do, how to do it, and answered all, ALL, my questions. Eddy M.

Lesa Makaole

As a newbie in Xano, having Ray for support is absolutely invaluable. His vast knowledge is also very important when asking about other territories so he’s a one stop shop for anything and everything our team has ever needed to clarify/enquire about. He’s worth every penny and more!

Yuval Drori

Needed a consultation for a big high-stakes blockchain project involving several Solidity contracts, DApps, and complicated on-chain and off-chain logic. I've received offers for help from several mentors on CodeMentor, with each one suggesting a radically different approach. I was unsure about Ray at first because from a glance at his profile it didn't seem like blockchain was 100% his speciality, but after speaking with him through the chat function, I decided to give it a shot. I'm glad I did. Ray gave me the impression of being more versed in the way blockchain projects work than most people I've worked with so far, by far. This includes both theoretical understanding of how the blockchain works under the hood, practical knowledge of best practices in blockchain projects, and several useful tricks to get important bits and pieces just right, like gas costs. Overall I achieved every goal I set for myself to cover with Ray and I have a 100% clear understanding of the best way to proceed in these projects after my session with him. I highly recommend him and definitely intend to work with him again.

Ray was able to expertly articulate the solutions to my problems in an educational way that allowed me to learn not only what to do, but why to do it.
March 2022

Josh Kramer

Ray is obviously a very experienced and knowledgeable guy, easily able to navigate between low level coding problems and higher level conceptual ones. He quickly got the to the root of the relatively obscure problem I was trying to solve with ethers and hardhat both of are thinly documented and relatively new, so when things don't work as expected solutions are hard to come by. HIghly recommended when you need to get to the root of thorny issues that might otherwise block your progress for days.
March 2022

Ali Zaheer

Ray is awesome. He is a great mentor to talk to. He asks pointed questions that get to the heart of the issue you are trying to solve and helps you brainstorm through the issues. He also has great technical expertise, so he can speak to the technical side of implementing solutions and whether they make sense on the business side. Overall, I rate him 10/10!

Gregg Squire

I cannot recommend Ray enough. He is more expensive than some of the other mentors I have worked with, but I think he winds up being a lot cheaper. He grasps what I am trying to do very quickly.

October 2021

Peter Difurio

Knows what he is talking about!
September 2021

Jordan Belafonte

I booked a slot with Ray and he jumped straight into explaining a lot of things I'd not quite understood for several years. He thoroughly explained a methodology for finding where variables are found in Chrome Inspector. And then laid out some options for how to proceed with the likeliest outcome of success. This was a high level discussion so that I can see the parts of the puzzle rather than coding through semi-blind. I thoroughly recommend Ray for his insights and his encouragement to take a pragmatic, energetic attitude to coding.

I'm so relieved and happy that Ray helped me! He responded within minutes after I posted a plea for help to modify a complex javascript web page from a packaged Windows program in order to reveal business critical data that frustratingly the software vendor refused to do. Within 1 hour, we had the job done, and now I'm more educated, and empowered with terrific new knowledge, and frankly, feel that with Ray, I can do anything!! :-) You know what they say about amazing people, right!? Not to worry, I won't keep him to myself. I encourage you to engage him in your projects too and feel the power!
