I Would Like To Learn

I would like to learn how to promote one's ideas and how to effectively engage people in activities that make useful information accessible to everybody.

Biography and skills

I am a web developer based in Ukraine. My main tools are Python and Javascript.

I am also a promoter of open information ideas. OpenStreetMap is one of my favorite open data projects, for which, in addition to contributing data, I organized and participated in local mapping events and mentored students for Google Summer of Code. I am one of the organizers of monthly barcamp-style event for local developers to exchange ideas and thoughts.

Also, I earned my Ph.D. in Physics, but have made a career shift into web development, since I became more inspired by the idea of making information more accessible for everybody.

I am familiar with all online communication tools mentioned in the enrollment form.
