QA / human / maker of my own things
I don't just want to find where things went wrong. I want to understand why.
I'm not great at
talking about myself,
but let's try

01 / HOW IT STARTED
scroll down ↓
In the first frame, I'm behind the bar at Kit Club, making a drink and chatting with a guest. This is where the story began, long before I had any plans to work in tech.
The starting point: working at a billiards club.
While working at the club, I started playing too. This frame captures a key habit in Russian billiards: don't hit at random. Look at the line and the whole table first.
Billiards became: more than a workplace backdrop — part of my life.
In the third frame, we're talking over a laptop. They told me about their work and products, and explained what a software tester actually does.
Something new: finding bugs and odd behaviour can be a job.
A laptop, notes, and lots of new information. I began studying testing, turning my natural “why does it work like that?” into a practical way of working.
The first step: from curiosity to a profession.
In the last frame, I'm working on a laptop with my cue still nearby. After training, I combined QA with my work at the club — and gradually began making my own projects.
What came next: testing, figuring things out, and building my own ideas.
Sometimes a new path begins
right at your old job.
02 / HOW I WORK
I can't justleave it at:“well, there's a bug.”
I want to find out where it came from, who it affects, and how to explain it without leaving people guessing. When I don't know something, I investigate rather than pretend to be an expert.

BILLIARDS
more than a line on a profile
I worked at the billiards club Kit Club — and I play Russian billiards myself.
I like that hitting harder isn't enough. You need to see the whole table, work out the trajectory, and take your time. In a way, it's a lot like testing — except the bug is a ball that went somewhere completely unexpected.
Look first.
Then shoot.
05 / SOMETHING PERSONAL
I spend a lot of time at my computer. At some point, I wanted a little companion nearby — someone to care for. That's how the idea of Moti began.
idea → try → try again → it works

dream things up, and never sit still.
