Community Experience

I'm a speaker and co-organizer of local city meetups @MinskCSS/@MinskJS and @CSS-Minsk-JS Conference, and FrontendConf Conference.

I love paticipating in tech conferencies and meetups, giving talks and hosting events. You can find some of my slides on Github. Recordings of my talks are available on Youtube.

Women Techmakers Ambassador & Google Developer Expert

I believe it's essential to support diversity and inclusion in tech. Unfortunately, women in IT are still underrepresented, especially as skilled experts and tech speakers, mentors, and organizers. It's important to share knowledge and experience with a community and encourage other girls and everyone else to do the same. It was a great privilege to be recognized as a Google Developer Expert on Web Technologies (Runtime performance, CSS & DevTools) from May 2021 to September 2022. I'm currently participating in other initiatives as Women Techmakers Ambassador. For me, it's one of the ways to be a part of the global IT community and do goods for the world.

I’d be happy to talk about

I've made my first page in 2006. I am in love with coding since then. I never stop learning, and below are just some of the topics I am familiar with or used in projects I participated in. I'm currently not looking for a software developer position without any leading responsibilities, but I keep an eye on new browser's releases and upcoming HTML, CSS and JavaScript standards and updates.
