Hello, let`s be friends!

My name is Vladyslav Holets, I am currently working on my PhD thesis on Software development of digital twins for industrial applications, in Kyiv Polytechnic Institute.

I am passionate about creation of a workspace for people willing to create something new. Therefore, I have created a small lab, specialised in embedded development, with self-made PCBs production (using iron and laser printer). Also, our lab features a set of hard tools, for metal and wood working, including angle grinders, drills, a jigsaw, and so on.

This lab is a project of mine for the last 6 years, since I was taking the second year of my bachelors degree in software development! That`s why, as soon as I heard of an opportunity to take this course, I have signed up and willing to commit whatever it takes to accomplish it, and as a result, finish my long-lasting project of creating this workspace!

Since I was a child, I was interested in mechanics and electronics. During my first year in uni, I have been part-timing in Robotics courses for children, and also developing escape rooms as a side hustle :) This experience had a great influence on my future plans, my job, and lifestyle.

Apart from all mentioned, I enjoy pottering, and origami. It`s hard to attend all the hobbies I have, however, i won`t miss a chance to relax my mind, creating a paper figure! Also, I enjoy traveling! Its hard to travel here nowadays, but a good trip to forest or mount hike are filling me up with energy and passion!
