My Introduction Post | Igor Poprushko |

Growing up, I always had a fascination with computers and how they worked. This interest led me to start learning programming languages when I was only 12 years old. At that age, I learned to write simple codes and programs in Python, and I quickly realized that programming was something I was passionate about.

In 2015, I had the opportunity to travel to Slovakia, where I started my studies in programming (Python, HTML, CSS, JavaScript, C#, Dart) and frameworks (NodeJS, Flutter). During my time as a student, I have had the privilege of working on several projects that have enabled me to gain practical experience in various programming languages. These projects have allowed me to explore my skills, learn from my mistakes, and become a more effective programmer.

One of the most exciting projects I worked on was a Unity Game about Mars Colony, which required me to provide electricity to the entire station while keeping track of the power usage. The game challenged me to use my programming knowledge and creativity to create a unique and engaging experience for players.

During my studies, I also participated in two challenges organized by Lidl Slovak. In both of these challenges, I was able to demonstrate my programming skills and won a 3rd place. Additionally, I worked as a programmer of Raspberry Pi microcontrollers in a startup that created healing lamps, where I was responsible for collecting and processing data from sensors. I also had the opportunity to work on a project to create a device that automatically administers insulin to diabetics. In this project, I was responsible for collecting and processing data from sensors as well.

Despite participating in various Hackathons in Slovakia, I have yet to win one. However, I hope to continue participating and eventually winning in the future. Currently, I am in Vienna with the Erasmus Plus program, which provides travel opportunities for students to gain experience in a foreign environment. My goal in Vienna is to improve my English, gain experience from a real job, and explore this beautiful city.

I am highly motivated to apply my programming skills and knowledge in a professional setting. I believe that my practical experience in various programming languages, my passion for digital technology, and my dedication to learning and improving make me an ideal candidate for any programming position. I am excited about the prospect of working with a team of experienced programmers who share my passion for digital technology and innovation.

Although my English level is currently at a B1, I am committed to improving it, and I am confident that I can effectively communicate and collaborate in an English-speaking work environment. I believe that my passion for programming, my practical experience, and my dedication to learning make me an excellent candidate for any programming position.
