“When I was 24, after having already worked professionally for more than 10 years, I decided to join the IT industry, but nobody would hire me due to a lack of experience. It was at that point that I knew that I had to create a workplace for myself,” he told. Maksym Petruk established WeSoftYou, a full-cycle web&mobile product engineering company, at the beginning of 2018. Within a year the number of employees of the company has increased from 3 to 23 and WeSoftYou has managed to complete more than 20 projects.
