“My journey toward a Master’s degree began in 2018 when I enrolled in the Kherson Polytechnic College, majoring in Software Engineering to obtain a Junior Specialist degree. My period of study coincided with one of the largest epidemics of modern times, COVID-19. The completion of my studies at the college occurred during the first year of the full-scale war. During the occupation of Kherson, I remotely enrolled in the same institution to pursue a Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science. While studying, I actively explored my interests, trying different programming languages and various IT fields. Eventually, I found the career I want to pursue for the rest of my life. Upon entering Kherson State University for a Master’s degree in Information Systems and Technologies, I continued my path toward academic excellence. The studies took place under difficult conditions dictated by the realities of life in Kherson. Despite all the hardships, it was Kherson State University that gave me the opportunity to secure my desired professional position and realize my potential. In December 2025, I successfully defended my Master's thesis and earned my Master’s degree.”
