What role did ITSTEP Academy play in your life?

The Academy gave me the opportunity to deepen my knowledge in areas that I lacked at the university. It gave me the opportunity to work with a team of people united by the same goal, to feel like a web developer and to understand what potential challenges await me in the future. Most importantly, I made friends, and even managed to find a girlfriend 🙂.

I am sure that our students will be inspired by your success and it will give them additional motivation. What advice can you give them?

In today's competitive IT industry, it is very important to present yourself and your classes in the right way. To be relevant to a modern company, a developer needs to know more than a couple of years ago. I would advise you to take this trend into account and pay special attention to learning and self-realization. 

Also, you can't always get inspiration only from victories 🙂.

Mistakes are a good teacher, you need to be able to find time to analyze them properly. It is the number of mistakes made in the past and the conclusions drawn from these mistakes that distinguish a beginner from an experienced developer 🙂
