Everything in the world runs on digital technology. From the moment you wake up in the morning to the time you go to sleep, and even during sleep — you are interacting with technologies that enhance our lives and make the world a better place. All of these interactions are created using the software. In today's world, software engineers have the magical power to innovate and help create a better future for people and the planet. Software Engineers make an impact beyond the code.
Why it's important to share stories of your own impact
Gathering requirements, planning and distributing tasks, development, code review, testing and committing new features, retrospective with the team — at first glance, the work of most IT specialists looks like this. But in reality, the results of this work extend far beyond the software code. Thanks to the impact of developers, the world becomes healthier, safer, and more ecological. We communicate with each other via video, watch our favorite series on streaming, visit a doctor online or watch the fantastic opening of the Olympic Games. Smart medical devices, such as blood donation machines, insulin pumps, pain-relieving implants, or autopilot cars were also created thanks to the impact of GlobalLogic’s developers in particular. They spread the impact through their code.

Stories of the impact of our people:
Saved concert
“My wife and I went to a Hurts concert at “Olympiyskyi” stadium in Kyiv. Near the stadium I received a message from a colleague from Belgium: there was a problem with the sound console… of the same group we came to listen to. Their sound engineer had already thought he was left alone with a problem in a foreign country.
In 10 minutes I was behind the stage helping fix the hardware. I received respect from the band team, and in addition all stage pass and lunch backstage 🙂 In the end, the concert was saved!”

More green energy
I’ve created a home solar power plant in a few years. For two and a half years, my home power plant generated about 50 MW * h of electricity. It reduced CO2 emissions by almost 50 tons, which is equivalent to planting more than 2.5 thousand trees.

Donating blood has become safer
My team develops software for blood donation — it makes the process safer and more convenient for both the donor and the doctor. We estimated that almost every American and European uses our development when they come to donate blood.
After beginning the project we ourselves started regularly donating blood in Ukraine. This is very important, especially now.
