“I've had the pleasure of working with Omar Shehata in his role as mentor for students participating in CodeDay Labs, an initiative that matches college students with mentors to assist on open-source projects. Omar has shown tremendous dedication to this role, having mentored a total of 11 students across 5 projects. He is one of our most accomplished, highest recommended mentors. His leadership, communication, and empathetic skills were always on display as he guided these students on their journey. But it's not just my opinion that counts. His students' feedback speaks volumes about his mentorship style. Students frequently described Omar as helpful, understanding, and exceedingly patient. They felt supported by his assiduity and responsiveness, and cherished his willingness to go above and beyond, consistently making an effort to clarify goals, provide feedback, and listen to their concerns. The mentorship Omar provided not only helped students move forward with their projects, but also aided in their growth as future industry professionals. I cannot recommend Omar enough. He is an incredible asset to any team.”
