ALUMNI TESTIMONIALS

Vladimir Kopytin

Class of 2006, Associate Degree.

The KSU team helped me become an IT specialist, look confidently toward the future, and make well-considered, technically sound decisions when solving current problems. KSU instructors don’t just limit themselves to dry lectures. There’s also an academic atmosphere and an openness to modern innovations. This is a team that demonstrates every day that science isn’t just on the horizon—it’s already here, right alongside the students. Problem-solving has a beginning, a technically sound solution, and a conclusion. They help us acquire the skills and abilities to solve problems through a scientific approach. The academic environment at the Department continues to influence my life even after graduation. With the skills I’ve acquired, I can communicate with clients as a professional with technical expertise, define requirements, identify problems, complete tasks independently, review solved problems with other colleagues, and assist newcomers in IT. I am very grateful for the optimism, boundless energy, and patience of the faculty for helping me become a professional in the IT field. Thanks to the KSU team, I have worked at such major companies as Hosting Max (Mykolaiv) and Intellias (Lviv).

I'm currently a JavaScript developer at RebelMouse in New York. I live in Poland.
