Hey, I’m Ivan Peshykov 👋 (also known as Иван Пешиков / Іван Пешиков)

I’m from Ukraine, but I currently live in Kraków, Poland.

I’m a Software Engineer at Akamai Technologies and a Computer Science student at Andrzej Frycz Modrzewski Kraków University. Before university, I completed my secondary education in Ukraine, where I competed in informatics olympiads.

When I first started learning programming at school, I thought, “God, what a stupid subject!” But soon after, I tried it myself and actually enjoyed it. I began programming at the age of 14, first creating simple websites and later more complex web applications with a functional backend. From there, I started experimenting: first with game development (Unity and Unreal), then C++ and desktop application development, before ultimately focusing on Python. You can check out my projects here btw.

In terms of work experience, I worked on a parking app used in Rivne and a few other Ukrainian cities — the one where you pay for parking and fines right from your phone. Then, I spent several months freelancing, primarily writing automation scripts and Discord bots. Currently, I work at Akamai as part of the network automation team, where we automate the deployment and configuration of thousands of routers across the globe! One of the coolest things I’ve done there so far was helping automate the setup of a whole new datacenter.

In my free time, I like working on personal projects and experimenting with new technologies.
