About me
Hi, my dear student! My name is Andrew.
I’m a Certified International IT Jury, Engineering Manager, Architect, Lead Full-stack Developer, and Passionate IT Mentor with 10+ years of versatile professional experience. Embarked on my programming journey from early school days. Obtained Bachelor's and Master's Degrees in Computer Science and Software Engineering.
I have profound expertise in Javascript, Node.js, Databases, System Design, and AWS. I do have the heart for Web Development and Engineering Management. But I've also worked extensively on creating hybrid Mobile & Smart TV apps, DevOps, Delivery & Resource Management, Software Architecture, and Interviewing. I also used to code apps in Java (Spring & Vertx), ASP Net C#, PHP, C/C++, and more. So I've got a lot to share.
Throughout my career, I have conducted more than 2,000 individual mentorship sessions with people of all technical levels worldwide, not to mention thousands of my beloved students on Udemy and other platforms.
I'm a multiple-time finalist and winner of the international and annual programs, including but not limited to:
* Stevie Awards for Great Employers
* Stevie Awards for Technology Excellence
* Globee Awards for Leadership
* Globee Awards for Information Technology
* Globee Awards for Business
* Mentor of the Month in the Spotlight at WomenGoTech
On top of that, I’m a member of various international IT associations and guilds and a certified IT judge. Occasionally I'm invited to take part in worldwide IT-events (awards, conferences, hackathons), where I evaluate and nominate innovative solutions, breakthroughs, and achievements of individuals, start-ups and giant tech companies around the world (US, EU, UK, Canada, India, China, etc):
* Duke University
* Globee Awards
* DevPost / MLH
* Orpetron
* WomenGoTech
* TurtleHacks
* HackClub
* and many more
I’m a technical publications writer. I have expert pubs in science journals on Web & Smart TV development and coding articles on HackerNoon, DevMedia, and other platforms.
These endeavors have laid the foundation for co-founding the prosperous IT Start Up, where in my role as CTO, I have nurtured an effective technical team of over 30+ professionals.
I'm the founder of CodeLikeAndrew-io Tech Community which connects talented people from the whole world in one place.
I'm full of drive, motivation, aspire, and crave to learn and teach new. I reckon that it’s not school education that is paramount in building a person, but a life attitude and the ability to constantly work on oneself and make mistakes.
Throughout my career, I elaborated my own methods for software development, self-growth, time and task management both at work and personal life, refining company processes, code reviewing, hiring, and mentoring.
I’ll be glad to convey my fighting spirit, passion, and energy, bring new fresh ideas on various challenges, and share my invaluable life and professional experience.
