Commit to Your Career: Getting Started in Open Source

Abstract

A practical session for students starting out in tech. Evgeniy Patlan walked through where to find a first open source project, what counts as a useful contribution, and how that work reads on a resume when you are beginning your career. He drew on his own path from build engineering to leading a release team while staying active in Chernihiv — local conferences, course updates with the university, and student events.

Shift Left: Why Security Comes First, Not Last

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

Evgeniy Patlan leads Percona’s build and release engineering team. This session connects shift-left security to what he ships every week: packaging, pipeline automation, and supply-chain hygiene. Security is not a pre-release checkbox — it is a design constraint from day one, covering CI/CD, release engineering, SBOMs, and reproducible builds from real production work.

Presented at ProsvITa 2026, an educational intensive by Chernihiv IT Cluster for students at Chernihiv Polytechnic National University.
