Valeriia Z.

For the last 4 years, I was a part of an innovative EduTech project, the main approach of which was to create modern and fast-growing programmers.

Now, due to the war in our country, we had to stop our project for an unknown time. That is why I'm looking for a place, where I can be useful and help to improve others' lives.

I am a fast learner and am ready to do my best in any field of IT.
