The Fortuna team is lucky

At the IT championship of the oil industry, the Fortuna team was lucky: the specialists of Transneft Technologies LLC were able to create an innovative solution in the field of drilling management and successfully presented it. Now young people are packing their bags to St. Petersburg, where they will have to defend their ideas in front of industry experts in the fight for the main prize – 1 million rubles. 

The motto of the team, which included Vitaly Vasiliev (captain), Anastasia Naumova, Ivan Naumov, Mehdiyev Aydin Rafik oglu, Alexey Kochegarov, became a "catch phrase": "Fortune does not expect a turn from fate, a goal has been set - let's go forward to it!". The talented guys adhere to this postulate throughout the championship: they reached the finals, having successfully completed the task of the 48-hour hackathon, and placed themselves in eighth place in the ranking.

Vitaly Vasiliev: "The hackathon is interesting! We needed to make a complete prototype of the system out of a certain idea. It's not easy, because you had to figure out the requirements and complete the task in a very short time.  But we were able to set priorities correctly, assign responsibilities, and work well together. We are pleased with our result.  Yes, we didn't manage to implement everything: we didn't take into account something, we didn't have time to do something else, nevertheless, as they say, a start has been made."

The team members had not participated in such projects before, so they were extremely curious to test their skills in practice.  The specialists did not regret at all that they left their comfort zone and spent a lot of personal time on the IT championship: it has already given them a lot of positive emotions and new ideas.

"Participation in the championship has led to new knowledge and achievements. Solving the case in this competition helped to gain the necessary experience that can be applied in real life and in production.  What we did not have time to implement here, we will take with us and will be able to bring to life in the future.", - said Vitaly Vasiliev.

The contestants are sure that to achieve success, you never have to give up and it's worth remembering that the road will be mastered by the one walking. Fortune smiles on such brave souls! Will she smile at the young specialists of Transneft Technologies LLC in the finals?  We'll find out on October 1st.
