Senior software engineer
CAST AI
Once I heard a saying that working in IT field can be compared to participating in the Olympics, which I truly believe it’s true. Both athletes and successful developers work hard every day to become better versions of themselves, and what for? To show what they can do, when the time comes. As developers we learn new technologies and try to keep up with ever-evolving IT world. I code almost every day, and it’s the easiest part of my job, not because the issues I am solving are easy, but because I practice a lot.

During my career, I have moved from diplomacy to IT and to my current position – leading a dedicated team drafting cybersecurity strategy, policy documents, and drafts of laws and regulations.
