About Me
I'm Vladyslav Hodarenko, a student at HeLa and a self-driven entrepreneur. My passion lies at the intersection of technology and business—whether it's writing code, launching a new venture, or helping another local business succeed.
Raised in a Ukrainian household, I've learned the value of "growth through grit." I'm not afraid to take on big challenges, learn from my mistakes, and build something meaningful from scratch. My goal is to use my technical skills and business drive to create opportunities for myself and others.
My Guiding Principles
Grit Over Givens
I believe in "growth through grit." Challenges are opportunities, not roadblocks. I bring a relentless work ethic to every project.
True Partnership
Your success is my success. I work *with* you, not just *for* you. I'm a partner who is personally invested in your goals.
No-Nonsense Results
I focus on what matters: measurable growth and efficient systems. No fluff, no excuses—just tangible, real-world results.
