According to Katya, what drives her the most is when complex technical challenges turn into effective solutions: for example, optimizing architecture or implementing new approaches that allow teams to launch features faster, and users to receive a stable and reliable product. «I get pleasure from being able to combine technology and innovation with practical benefits, I constantly learn on my own and help others develop through mentorship. Participation in hackathons and pet projects adds even more drive: here there are fast deadlines, new technologies, ideas and people — and you never know which next innovation will turn into a real product. The greatest joy is to see that your work and your experience transform the team, the product and even the industry,» says the IT professional.
