Our project's achievements include being recognized as a finalist in the 2020 Ukrainian IT Awards in the category of "IT Education" and receiving the distinction of the best non-profit IT project in Ukraine.

Throughout my career, I have also embraced the role of mentor, providing guidance and training to individuals across various organizations. I find great fulfillment in sharing knowledge and uplifting others to reach their full potential.
