eBillingHub

When I joined this project as a Senior .NET Developer, I had just moved from Moscow to Minsk (which got a lot of surprised reactions and questions about why I chose to move in that direction!). But I was really excited to work with Alex Laysha, a Microsoft Azure MVP, and couldn’t pass up the opportunity.

It turned out to be one of the best decisions I’ve ever made! Working with Alex, Lera, Dima, and the rest of the team was amazing, and I learned so much from them. Plus, I got certified as a Microsoft Azure Solution Architect, completed EPAM Solution Architect school, and took on leadership responsibilities for the project starting in 2018.

All in all, it was an incredible experience and I’m so glad I took the leap and joined this awesome team!
