Our student stories – Part 1 – (Episode 47)

In this episode, we’re having a long chat with one of our students we’re most proud of, seeing that he’s young, achieved a lot (he’s a RedHat Certified Architect, just for reference), and still very hungry for knowledge. We discuss his educational path from early age, high school, and how he got to be where he is right now with our humble input (and a lot of dream-shattering conversations). For our viewers out there figuring out their educational journeys, this might be the inspirational story that you’re looking for. We’re really proud of what Matej was able to achieve so far in life and we also know that there are many new, great things expecting him in the future as he wraps up his college education and goes on to become our assistant, helping with lab work with future generations of students.

P.S. Yes, we’re aware that picture quality is a bit iffy and that there are certain “scene” issues, shall we say but – we weren’t doing this in our studio and had loads of problems with cables, cameras, microphones, even power. This is just impossible to reshoot, so bear with us 🙂
