iDempiere enthusiasts share many examples of how iDempiere changed people’s lives for the better. Here we present to you our hero of the month for his contributions during April.

Meet Anna Fadeeva, an amazing contributor and a valued member of the Palich team. In April, Anna and her team made a significant contribution by creating a highly detailed document that provides comprehensive instructions on how to use Fitnesse in iDempiere. The document serves as an invaluable resource for users who are looking to leverage the Fitnesse feature effectively.

Tell us a little bit about your childhood and where you grew up.

I was born in Kharkov. When I was 7 years old I moved to Dimitrovgrad. In the summer, until the age of 10, I went to my grandmother in a village near Kharkov. A wonderful childhood among animals, forests and fields.

As a child, I went to swimming training, went skiing and then studied karate.

As a teenager, I was fond of electronics, dismantled electronic toys, and tape recorders 🙂

How did you get into programming?

I was drawn to programming. It’s like a magnet or an obsession. Plus the corresponding education Informatics-economist.
I got a job in a consulting company in 2006 in Moscow. Then I improved my knowledge through experience.
In 2011 I returned to Dimitrovgrad and started working remotely with ADempiere, then with iDempiere.
