Our team continues to grow and welcome new talented people. At the same time, beyond work projects, each of us has a world of our own — passions, hobbies, stories, and interests that inspire us and give us strength.
We are launching a new ongoing series, “People X,” where we will share what our colleagues are passionate about outside of work. We promise it will be interesting!
Margarita Prokudina — L&D Specialist
Margarita is someone who cannot imagine life without movement, energy, and kindness. She loves being active, traveling, new experiences, and delicious food. She has spent more than three years living abroad, with Italy and Montenegro becoming not only homes for her, but also sources of inspiration.
Margarita has three furry friends — two cats and a dog — who remind her every day why she does what she does. For more than six years, she has been the founder and head of the “Khvostati” charitable foundation, which rescues animals from war zones, helps critically ill animals, supports social adaptation, and finds loving families for those others have already given up on.
In 2023, after the destruction of the Kakhovka Hydroelectric Power Plant, the foundation evacuated 150 animals, treated each one, and found new homes for them. Today, its focus is on rescuing animals from war zones and those with serious health conditions or disabilities.
Margarita’s goal is to create an animal rescue center — a true support hub where there will be room not only for animals, but also for veterans, internally displaced persons, and anyone in need of support.
“I believe that kindness always has power,” Margarita says.
Sergii Maistrenko — Cloud Computing Data Expert
Among the hobbies that help Sergii recharge his energy, stay in shape, and maintain inner resilience, Brazilian jiu-jitsu (BJJ) and hiking in the mountains hold a special place.
For him, this is not just sport or active recreation, but a practice that teaches you not to give up even in the most difficult circumstances, and to find calm and inner strength in moments when the experience of war or life’s challenges feels especially heavy.
BJJ builds a fighter’s mindset and helps cope with stress and PTSD, while hiking in the mountains restores a sense of harmony with oneself and nature, making it possible to reset after the most intense periods.
At the same time, he emphasizes that even these hobbies cannot replace professional help and therapy when it is needed.
“I believe that this balance — physical, psychological, and spiritual development — helps me remain effective in my path and in my profession, support the team, and keep moving forward despite all the difficulties of our circumstances,” Sergii says.
Sofiia Sivuliak — Lead Legal Counsel
One of the most important aspects of Sofiia’s personal and team development has been her involvement in the National Scout Organization of Ukraine, Plast.
For her, this is more than a hobby — it is a value system that shaped her leadership qualities, responsibility, and team management skills.
For more than ten years, Sofiia has been actively involved in organizing and running camps, trainings, educational activities, and socially useful initiatives. This work gives her a sense of purpose and of contributing to the country’s development through the upbringing of a new generation.
“Plast is an environment of like-minded people where trust, initiative, and support prevail. It is here that I always feel the true power of teamwork and the importance of personal contribution,” Sofiia shares.
Yuliia Klishyna — Event Manager
For Yuliia, theater is a space of freedom and creativity, where she can live through other lives while also exploring her own.
It teaches her to understand people, adapt quickly, and not be afraid to step outside the usual boundaries.
Theater taught her the most important thing — to express herself boldly. And this skill proves valuable not only on stage, but also in work and everyday life.
Each of these stories is proof that the strength of a team is built not only through work tasks. Our colleagues’ hobbies, passions, and values help us find new sources of energy, grow as individuals and professionals, and maintain balance in life.
We are confident that behind every name at MODUS X stands a unique story, and we look forward to sharing the next ones with you.
