Senior Engineer Virginijus joined our team quite unexpectedly – at the time, he was just looking for a job and had uploaded his CV to a job portal. “Most of them just called to ask if I was still looking for a job and what salary I wanted. But your recruitment partner just invited me to chat – that made an impression. That’s how I ended up here,” smiles Virginijus.
When he came to work, he brought with him not only an impressive experience, but also a whole baggage of hobbies and extraordinary stories. What makes him happiest at work is the environment: a friendly team, a healthy atmosphere and the opportunity to see how others work together. “I like the daily puzzles – problems rarely repeat, there is always something new. It is exciting to deal with different engineering systems, equipment and specialists. It is impossible to get bored here.”
Outside of work, Virginijus is a true adventure seeker. He started paragliding after having a dream in which he soared into the sky. Seeing people gliding in the mountains, he decided to learn. “If you want to fly well, you have to learn a lot: to observe space, to understand air currents. In fact, I only started flying properly after 10-12 years,” he says. He has now spent over 20 years in the sky. His most memorable flight took place this year at an altitude of 4 kilometers. “Cold, windy, shaky – but so many wings all around, the feeling is indescribable.”
Virginijus also takes part in competitions, where he often has to compete with more than a hundred participants. “For me, it is an achievement to get into the top ten,” he says. Paradoxically, he is actually afraid of heights – without a paraglider, it is uncomfortable to go higher than the third floor.
In addition to flying, Virginijus rides a motorcycle and admits with a chuckle: “I am a little crazy about everything.” His life motto is simple now: “Don’t overthink it, live in the moment. That’s when things go best.”
