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.

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.
