Simen's mentorship was the perfect guide throughout my course with CodeInstitute, and was vital in ensuring high project standards. Simen's ability to mentor a large number of students, tracking progress and helping to debug projects with limited context is a rare skill and emphasises his proficiency in project management, people skills and critical thinking. Simen is always approachable and willing to talk through coding problems, often being one of the first to resolve student queries across the CodeInstitute community. Thank you Simen, for all of your hard work!

If you’re looking to work with someone who can help you reach your full potential, Simen is that person. Simen was my mentor for 12 months while I was studying at Code Institute, and he played a very important role in helping me develop my skills. He is a very knowledgeable and experienced person with a fantastic sense of humor. His knowledge of software development is simply amazing. I'm fortunate to have had the time I did with him, and I will always recommend Simen to any company or person interested in working with him.

When it comes to top-notch mentors, Simen is most definitely without equal. He has guided me from having only a very basic understanding of software development to being able to think and function very comfortably as a developer. His knowledge of industry best practices and ability to ingrain that knowledge in his students are evident when looking at their work. What makes Simen so popular as a mentor is the feeling of fellowship he creates among his students. Everyone feels like they are part of something great and that they are going to achieve great things. This comradery is priceless and an incredible motivator! Whether I need mentoring or software development done, Simen will be my go-to guy.

Fantastic mentor for Code Institute! Simen is really supportive and extremely knowledgeable. He explains complex ideas in a way that’s easy to understand, breaking them into smaller achievable steps. I’ve really enjoyed learning from Simen, he has encouraged me to deepen my understanding and achieve more than I thought possible! Thanks Simen 💐🏆

Simen has a unique combination of having incredibly high standards, both for himself and the people he's working with, while being unbelievably supportive, explaining things clearly, going above and beyond to be helpful and always encouraging. I would recommend him in a heartbeat for any leadership/ coaching/ mentoring roles.

I've had the pleasure of working with Simen for the past eight months, and in that time, he has been an excellent mentor, colleague, and team player. As a Senior Full Stack Developer, he brings deep technical expertise along with a collaborative and supportive approach that makes a real difference. From day one, Simen made time for me—whether it was answering questions, providing guidance, or helping to troubleshoot complex issues. We worked closely on several new features and his professionalism and willingness to share his knowledge have been invaluable to my growth. Beyond supporting me individually, Simen played a crucial role in our team's success, helping us accomplish a full rebuild in an impressively short timeframe. His ability to balance efficiency with quality, as well as his problem-solving skills made a huge impact. I will truly miss working with him, but any team would be lucky to have him. He is not only a skilled developer but also a fantastic colleague who uplifts those around him. Simen will be a huge asset to any organisation looking for an experienced senior developer, who will encourage and nurture those working alongside and under him.
