Valeriia's Story The Sims 2 was the first game I ever played. And the most amazing thing about this game is the ability to enter cheat codes. And this is my first programming experience. When you need to do a thing that takes a lot of time, one word is enough, because someone has already coded it for you. I know that programming languages ​​were written in the same way. After that, I began to try to optimize and automate everything in my life. And I started to thinking about my own game.

🙋‍♀️ Valeriia's Motivation

I want to improve my job skills, because it is the shortest way to provide a better life for my family. When I was a kid, I wanted to create my own game. Then I graduated from the university with a degree in System Engineering. I have a bachelor's degree now, but it was obtained in the occupied city in Ukraine. When I wrote the first programs at the university, it was like completing levels in a game. I am not used to giving up and I want to learn how to pass all levels and code complex programs. Now I don't know a lot of things that I need to work as a programmer. But one way or another I will learn to code. I hope you can help me with this.

🤹‍♀️ Valeriia's Hobbies

I really like reading books, watching films, walking into the forest, listening music and speaking with people, who have the same sense of humour. Sometimes I write poetry.

The SheCodes Foundation Mission

Women hold only 25% of coding jobs and earn 30% less than men. In many developing countries, over 65% of women lack bank accounts, making it difficult to invest in their education.

The SheCodes Foundation is changing that. We provide women in developing countries with free coding education, equipping them with the skills to build a better future. In partnership with SheCodes, we offer training in product development, design, and management, empowering women to thrive in the tech industry.
