datarocketsBehind the scenes of Web Summit 2022. This November datarockets team was lucky to attend Web Summit 2022 - the biggest tech conference in the world. 😎 Web Summit involves various mini-conferences which focus on different topics like marketing, music, cryptocurrency, international business, health, and more. Here we are to share fresh impressions: it was challenging, awesome, and worth visiting again. Now a bit of detail 😅 A lot of speakers were on stage at the same time in different places. Even running fast in between the meetups it was not possible to hear all of them at the same time. Most people checked out the web summit’s phone app to choose which speaker’s place to visit, and so did we. However, because of the long distances between pavilions after a while, we just gave up and walked around randomly choosing the speaker. Which seemed to be a nice idea at the moment because everywhere something exciting happened. As you may guess our pedometer’s data ran really high these days. 💪🏼 It’s announced that 71033 attendees visited the Web Summit on the first day. And 42% of women among them! Incredible! 👱‍♀️ So, yes, it was extremely crowded and with a festive vibe all around, having thought-provoking speakers and smart, experienced attendees, with whom you can set contact easily at any moment. It’s definitely worth visiting again.

datarocketsA real university teacher? We know one! @andrew_tatarenko, the VP of Engineering at datarockets, has been teaching students for several years at the main technical university in Belarus (BSUIR) along with being the full-time Ruby developer. There’s a funny story about how Andrew became a mentor on a true and lucky occasion. One of the datarockets employees Nastya, who was a student at the time, once struck up a conversation with her university professor. The professor recognized Andrew in the story as his former student, got curious about his experience, and asked for Andrew’s contact details. Later, Andrew was invited to teach practical lessons! As a lecturer and professional engineer, Andrew guided his students through the theory of OOP showing how it meets practical examples in real-life development tasks. Certainly, we can’t overlook that a couple of Andrew’s students are datarockers now 😎 And we are happy for the students who got the chance to learn from Andrew. He is one of a kind ❤️

datarocketsIf you ask how we find junior devs who grow into self-sufficient developers extremely fast. Here’s the answer: We are lucky to have teammates, who apart from their full-time job at datarockets work wholeheartedly as mentors of IT-camps and other institutions. Yeah, we have amazing professionals on our team! ⠀ Their interactive approach encourages critical thinking and inspires students to think like a pro. It takes a lot of skill, time, and patience to grow up even just a single skilled developer. ⠀ Today we are here to greet @samat.kalshabekov - a mentor of the top IT camp in Kazakhstan. For ten weeks, he has been teaching programming at @nfactorial.school and prepared the students for the demo day. Samat’s students literally adore him for his deep knowledge, creativity, and endless energy! And by the way, we see here a nice way to recruit developers in whom we see potential 😉 ⠀ So probably, we will welcome new datarockers soon! ⠀ How do our developers benefit from mentoring? Read in our next posts 😎 ⠀ If you’re a Samat’s student, please don’t be shy to share why you adore him so much ☺️

datarocketsDouble tap if you have ever considered changing your career 🙂 Likewise did Ulan, our front-end engineer and former DJ. Ulan was brave and persistent to follow his dream and start a new career after he turned 30 years old. While we spend third of our life at work there’s a reason to find a job that makes you happy and fullfilled. No one is too old for starting over. These are the ideas that stand behind the instagram blog Ulan began after he joined the datarockets’ team. The blogging career already made Ulan the participant of the IT conference held in his native country. In his blog, Ulan offers advice on how to get a new position, pass an interview, what to include in a resume, and other topics. He also shows the development routine and problems that happen along the way. This makes Ulan very popular among IT school’s graduates and people who dared to switch their career path in favor of the IT industry. If these thoughts appeal to you, Ulan will be happy to see you among his followers too 😉 Please check out @ruganga

datarocketsWe keep sharing posts showcasing amazing datarockers and their mentoring experience 🚀 Today we are here to tell you a little success story of Vlad, a NodeJS developer in our team, who has volunteered as a mentor in @agbuglobal, the largest Armenian non-profit organization. Vlad hosted the 6 months course for women of different ages, teaching both Frontend and Backend. In addition, as a mentor, Vlad facilitated his students to work on their CVs and portfolio, learn English, and shared tips on finding the first job or apprenticeship. As a result, some girls have already started their careers in IT! 👩‍💻 Congratulations to both Vlad and the students! ❤️ Discover more personal stories in the following posts. Stay tuned!
