I lead the team behind MrQ's casino back-office platform - the internal tooling that lets operators run the casino, apply regulatory controls, and not accidentally break things for millions of players. Compliance-heavy, data-heavy, uptime-matters-a-lot kind of work.

Day-to-day that means technical coaching, system design decisions, and creating the conditions where engineers ship their best work - then getting out of the way.

Alumna of BSUIR and IST, I'm halfway through a Data Science & AI degree with Cambridge Spark while working full-time, so most of my leftover energy goes into:

• 🤖 Agentic workflows - tool-calling loops, local agents, Claude Code as a daily driver
• 📊 Data platforms - pipelines, analytics infra, turning 'we think' into 'we know'
• ⚙️ Developer productivity - if engineers hate the tooling, the tooling is wrong
• ☁️ Reliability - one very bad on-call experience made me shift from IC to EM 🤡

If you're working on similar things, I'm always up for comparing notes.

• 🗣 6+ languages (none perfectly, all confidently wrong)
• ✈️ 70+ countries, half via Couchsurfing - still bad at packing
• 🤿 PADI-certified diver - part-time mermaid 🧜‍♀️
• 🎤 Toastmaster - public speaking is a muscle 💪
• 💻 Build websites for nonprofits at 48in48
• 📚 Early reviewer for O'Reilly & Manning
• 🌏 Ex-AnitaB.org and GHC volunteer

These aren't decorative - they're why I adapt fast across cultures and care about building inclusive, high-performing teams. Engineering is a team sport played by humans 🧠🫀. And agents 🤖. Yes.

Always curious about better ways to build systems and the teams behind them.
