- My advice to people who start learning .NET…
.NET is just a tool that helps you create great things, but you should understand how to use it properly. At first, it’s important to learn the basics: object-oriented programming, the basics of system architecture and design.
- My motto…
Move towards your goals and never give up. When you want to do something, you will find a thousand ways, but when you don’t – you’ll find a thousand excuses.
- The best learning resources for .NET devs…
- Nick Chapsas’ videos on YouTube – he discusses many interesting .NET topics in an easily digestible format.
- All the Microsoft resources: blog, documentation, and courses.
- If I wasn’t a .NET dev, I would…
Definitely work with people! Most probably, I would be a marketer.
- A person at N-iX who inspires me…
There are several people at N-iX who motivate me with their results. Among them is Pavlo Deshchynskyy, Chief Operating Officer at N-iX, who started as an engineer at the company. Also, Roman Dziuma, Solutions Architect at N-iX, who is constantly developing his skills, excelling in his career and, at the same time, taking care of a big family with three children.

As a .NET competence lead, I develop the .NET community, gather all the knowledge and best practices, and facilitate specialists’ career growth!
- What are your plans for the .NET direction at N-iX?
