// 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.
