Member Stats
Orest is currently ranked the #3 most engaged member of the Postman Community forum. He’s sent more than 140 replies to questions and has read 1,400 posts in the last year.

Motivation
“My motivation comes from years of learning software development and APIs from the internet and from colleagues. Both have been generous enough to share their time and knowledge with me, so I can learn everything related to APIs. After learning so much, I’ve wanted to give back the same knowledge that I was taught to the community at large. I recently got into Postman at work, as we were transitioning testing tools. Since then, I decided to join the Community forum and share everything I know—and the new things I continue to learn. It’s been a rewarding journey to see others achieve their IT and career goals with the help I’ve offered through my YouTube videos and within the Postman Community. It’s an infectious feeling.”
