Engineering manager who still reads the diffs.

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.

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.
