From a library director

“Rishab provided exceptional service during our events, and his instructional skills were incomparable. We received excellent feedback from participants regarding Rishab’s ability to convey complex coding concepts in an accessible manner. […] He was very personable and professional throughout his time at the library, and we appreciate his dedication to teaching coding.”
