Oksana's Story Three years ago, a colleague taught me how to put the <br> tag in the admin. At that moment, I felt like a demigod because I corrected the article on the website. Later, I started helping with content at the company where I work. I learned about the terms "backend", "frontend", "story", and "parsing" from acquaintances. And I understood the meaning of these words much later from the context. I became more and more convinced that I was interested in the field of IT technologies.

🙋‍♀️ Oksana's Motivation

I am inspired by girls in STEM fields who show that women are competitive. CS Jackie and Iris Tabea are my favorite developer bloggers. I am sure that everyone can program. The only difference between those who succeeded and those who did not is that the first started and did not give up. I believe that the sooner you start learning to program and make the first mistakes, the faster you will learn. I think of programming as a combination of logic, math, language, broad-mindedness, and out-of-the-box thinking. It is both creative and monotonous work. In my free time, I watch programming lectures on Prometheus to learn the basics of development. Also, I am inspired by the developers I know, because they are people who are distinguished by cleverness, erudite, and inquisitiveness. I want to see myself as a programmer - thirsty for knowledge and new experience, motivated, and open to innovation.

🤹‍♀️ Oksana's Hobbies

I have always loved to read. And I have been doing rhythmic gymnastics and ballet for the last year. I also want to try figure skating training, and 3 of my childhood sports dreams will come true.

SheCodes Foundation Mission

Women currently hold 25% of coding jobs and earn 30% less money than men. In most developing countries, more than 65% of women don't have bank accounts and cannot afford to invest in their education. Female refugees also don’t have many opportunities to invest in their education and improve their career horizon - they often work in unskilled, undervalued, and low-paid informal sectors.

SheCodes is here to help provide women in developing countries and women who are refugees with the opportunity to learn how to code for free. SheCodes offers a solid introduction to product development, product design and product management.
