I break things professionally so users don't have to. Passionate about quality, automation, and making software that actually works. Sometimes I write about it.

// a few things about me

I'm an AQA engineer — that means I write code to test code. Meta, right?

Based in Russia, working at one of the biggest tech companies in the country.

I believe quality is everyone's responsibility, not just the QA team's.

When I'm not testing software, I'm probably writing about it or exploring new tools.

My motto: "not under. just flying stealth." — stay low, move fast, deliver quality.
