About Me

Long time no see =) I haven't used it for a long time. Well, here I am, on the road again.

My profession

I'm just trying to reduce entropy. But it doesn't work, you know :)

I'm an IT girl. I used to be a technical writer at Yandex. Which used to be a Russian Google. I am a specialist in developing external and internal documentation for IT companies. Now I'm mostly a technical writing mentor.

By the way, have you tried turning it off and on again?

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I wanna speak English more often.
Acabo de empezar a aprender español y solo puedo hablar con Duo, el búho.
Mas falo um pouco de português.
