The leaders of the rating from Zarubezhneft JSC want to announce their company

The first IT championship of the oil industry has already opened up a lot of interesting teams to the industry community with talented and eager participants. One of them is NESTRO TECH. The young specialists of Zarubezhneft JSC have managed to make themselves known and, according to experts, have a good chance of final success.

The NESTRO TECH team is cross-functional: it brings together strong employees from different fields, who, as noted by IT manager, team leader and captain Vitaly Pogorelov, are comfortable working together. Mining expert Andrey Svetkin, project economist and designer Ksenia Veronskaya, system architect Dmitry Mishanin, and frontend developer Ilya Litvikh actively help him achieve the result.

And, admittedly, the guys are doing pretty well! The young specialists successfully passed the tests of the qualifying stage, and at the end of the 48-hour hackathon topped the ranking of the best teams. The contestants noted that the hackathon helped them come up with and test a hypothesis for solving a real business problem in conditions of maximum concentration on the business effect without the "husk" of corporate processes and approvals.

Now, as one of the main favorites, NESTRO TECH is preparing for the final test. According to Vitaly Pogorelov, one of the factors that allowed the team to achieve success is close cooperation with the experts of the championship.: "We were able to get inside information from each of the specialists, which then helped us to conduct expertise in various fields. This gave a powerful impetus to the development of our product."

At the same time, Zarubezhneft's employees are not "starred" and soberly assess their strengths and weaknesses.

"In terms of the logical structure of our solution, we have implemented everything we wanted. But we couldn't allocate the time correctly, so not all the user interface ideas got into the MVP.", - the participants honestly admit.

In the time remaining before the finals, the young oilmen plan to close the problem areas in their project in order to win the IT championship and demonstrate their employer in the best possible way. 

Vitaly Pogorelov: "We want to declare Zarubezhneft JSC as a company that uses advanced technologies and employs real professionals. The competition is also a good test for our cross–functional team and each of its members in particular. The project allows us to take a breath of fresh air, increase our motivation and knowledge."

Ambitious specialists know how to achieve a triumph in the final of the project.

"The organizing team has prepared excellent materials for studying and solving the case. If you follow their recommendations, everything will work out., – the captain of the team shares the secret. – You should try to enjoy the process, because a case is an opportunity to get out of everyday work and try your hand at a new task and field in a team of like-minded people."

Hopefully, the finalists will be able to achieve their cherished goals and find new ideas for the development of IT and drilling management.
