In 2006 I graduated from a Russian university with a degree in teaching Computer Science and English; back then I was more interested in the latter. It was not until almost 10 years later that I rediscovered the world of tech, taught myself to code (again) and switched careers from teaching English to Software Development. I have been a developer for 5 years (minus 7 months of maternity leave), and I'm very happy to be a part of the tech community. My other hobbies include learning languages and Latin dances.
