About

Building quality into
the future of reality

6+ years deep in software and hardware quality assurance, now pioneering the integration of AI agents into every step of the QA lifecycle at Meta's VR/MR department. From test planning to bug reporting, I'm reconstructing how quality teams operate in the age of intelligent automation.

My trajectory — from sole tester at a 15-person startup in Ukraine, through SoftServe's enterprise QA, to Meta's Reality Labs in Silicon Valley — has been driven by one conviction: quality engineering is becoming an orchestration discipline, where the engineer's role shifts from executor to architect of AI-powered workflows.
