UFA, 31 January 2020. /Bashinform News Agency/ translated by Tatiana Aksyutina/.

A programmer from Sterlitamak, who currently lives in Prague, helped to save 16 million euros for the Czech government. Andrey Fidelman participated in the hackathon - a website and application development for selling virtual motorway toll stickers. The Czech Ministry of Transport placed this order in early January. The project was to be implemented by a local company for 401 million Czech crowns. However, an IT entrepreneur Tomas Vondrachek, with whom Andrey once worked, called the amount overstated four times. He gathered a team, which included our programmer from Sterlitamak.

As a result, the team of 100 programmers in 40 hours created a website and applications and saved a large amount of the state budget. By the way, programmers refused financial assistance from the Czech government, having worked only for donations.
