Small meetup tour

In early September 2022 I announced my small meetup tour “Why is it important for a developer to be involved in PET projects” in 3 cities of Kazakhstan: Almaty, Astana and Karaganda

It was brilliant experience and I want to say thank you Zhiber.kz company for sponsor a tour, Terricon Valley, Astana Hub and MOST Hub for organizing events. Unfortunately the last event didn’t take place because not enough audience but we tried 🙂

Also I wrote article about my report on habr.

There is video which was recorded at one of the sites:

First mobile apps

More than one year ago I bought feature phone with KaiOS on board for digital detox purpose. You can read about my experience here:

http://ysirotenko.geekspace.info/?p=12

Insofar as I started to use my Nokia 8110 as my main phone I started to get more information about this OS and KaiOS company in general.

Did you know, over four billion people have no internet access? Why? Smartphones are expensive. Data plans cost too much. Touchscreen devices and apps are often intimidating to first-time internet users

KaiOS mission is:

Advance digital inclusion and close the digital divide

How can I help? Insofar as I’m a developer, I can build apps at least 🙂

A few days ago my first two game apps were released!

I’m going to tell about my building apps experience on geekspace.info web site.

Stay in touch,
Have a good day!

Cycling event

Cycling Tour of World Class Almaty – competition for amateur cyclists, but on a professional level. The Tour of World Class Almaty bicycle race is a great event for cycling enthusiasts. This year it will be held for the sixth time and will gather about 850 athletes.

A few months ago I sent application for participation in cycling “Tour of World Class Almaty” and started to prepare for that event. I rode 34 km on my lovely stels MTB bike in the most brilliant mountain city. It was very hard but I crossed the finish line. I’m so happy to be part of that amazing event and want to say thank you to all people who supported me!
