Aliona Sosunova
Director of Engineering
Vinted
I am a director of engineering without an engineering background. At least once per quarter I catch myself thinking that I don’t know anything, I’m not able to do my job properly and I don’t know what to do in one or another situation. And then I remind myself that it’s not about luck that I am where I am. It’s about my competence, decisions I made and my fears I overcame. And that’s why I am on my mission to support amazing brave ladies through their journey, as I know that every one of us has self-doubt moments. My background as project manager, agile coach, team leader and engineering director allows me to inspire people to constantly look for better ways of doing things and creating better products, to implement changes with belief, motivation and buy-in of all the team. Experience that I gathered working with multiple teams taught me to think not only about certain frameworks and the rules, but about mindset, motivation and team values and that is my passion.

Juozas Adamonis
Java developer
Metasite Business Solutions
Hi, I am a full stack developer, currently working with Java and Angular languages. Previously, I got my PhD in Physics and used to be a scientist. Nevertheless, at my former job, I lacked the opportunity to observe the results of my work right away. Since, I have been still enthusiastic to mastering new skills, I took one of many IT courses available and started getting into software development. My experience as a developer is 4 years. However, in the IT field, it is not that short period of time. I feel, I can share my knowledge, as well as the experience I gained changing my career path.
