Having been handed TaxJar's Magento integrations as a seasoned PHP & Node developer, I found Magento to be uncharted territory. Self-learning proved challenging due to the lack of substantial online resources.

It was your courses at M.academy that turned things around, equipping me to pass the Adobe Commerce certification in a brief 6 months. The naturally conversational & comprehensive style shed light on Magento's inner workings, helping me admire and eventually, enjoy working with the framework. While I find your content perfect, I simply crave more of such wisdom. A heartfelt thank you for your guidance.
