HOBBIES AND VOLUNTEERING

OpenStreetMap – global free editable map
I am a long-time contributor to the OpenStreetMap project. I not only participate in adding new data and
updating existing information, but also put a lot of effort into localising tools and documentation into Ukrainian
to attract more participants from Ukraine. I translated and maintained the interfaces of such editors as iD and
JOSM, translated the documentation in the OSM Wiki, and helped in the preparation of issues for the weeklyOSM.
In addition, I created a website for the Ukrainian OpenStreetMap Community and helped to establish cooperation
with corporate users, one of whom created and maintains a tile server for use in Ukraine.

However, my efforts are not limited to the Ukrainian community. I have updated and offered to the community
site that facilitates the wide dissemination of information about the project and Switch2OSM, guidance on the
transition to using OpenStreetMap.

3D Modelling and Printing
3D printing became my hobby not long ago. I documented my first steps in this hobby on my YouTube channel. I
also made efforts to localise Luban slicer to 100% in Ukrainian. Not only the interface was localised, but also the
built-in help.
