## Skills

- Backend & systems: APIs, distributed and event-driven services, payments and subscriptions. Google Cloud, PostgreSQL, Redis and Bigtable, with the observability to know what the system is really doing.
- Integrations & workflows: Connecting tools, data and people so information stops being copied by hand. Practical applied AI where it genuinely helps, with humans keeping the final say.
- Translation & leadership: Making complex things understandable to the people who depend on them. Leading backend work, and bringing journalism-trained research and writing to engineering decisions.
- Technical areas: Go, TypeScript / Node, React, APIs, GCP, SQL & NoSQL, Backend architecture, Observability

## Experience

- Vipps MobilePay — Software Engineer (2025 — present). Backend engineering in a high-trust financial technology environment, working in the merchant KYC area.
- Aller Media — Software Engineer → Backend Lead (About six and a half years). Full-stack and backend engineering, then leading backend work on platforms involving subscriptions, payments, personalization, data and cloud services.
- Journalism — Bachelor's degree (Earlier foundation). Research, interviewing, writing, and the habit of explaining complex subjects clearly. It turned out to be good preparation for software.
- Women & AI — Independent meetup host (Oslo, 2025). Organized and hosted a small, informal meetup for women curious about using AI in everyday life. A hands-on community initiative, not a conference.

## Interests

- AI in the real world. What changes when intelligent systems move from demos into actual work?
- Systems and people. How do incentives, attention, tools, and behavior shape what we build?
- Curiosity as a way of living. Learning, exploring, asking better questions — and occasionally starting over.

## About

I'm Nataliia. Originally from Odesa and now based in Oslo. My path started with journalism and led me into software, which makes more sense than it might sound. I've always wanted to understand how things work, why people do what they do, and how complicated ideas can become something useful.
I love a good question, a system that finally makes sense, a conversation that goes somewhere unexpected, and the feeling of discovering something new. Technology is one way I explore the world. People, books, science, art, and travel are others.
I care about building things that matter, explaining complexity without losing its depth, and keeping the human part of technology in view.
