Found my perfect match at Native, where my language background meets tech. Working on innovative messaging products with real-time AI-powered translation capabilities has been incredibly fulfilling. I've grown significantly as a developer, mastering React, Next.js, and diving into backend technologies. The role allows me to combine my passion for UX/UI design, product thinking and contributing to products that break down language barriers.
03/2021 — 03/2022
Through intensive self-learning and professional courses, I began my journey in frontend development. This period helped me build a strong foundation in coding principles, atomic design architecture, and product thinking, while learning to tailor solutions to diverse client needs. In my first frontend role, I adopted key frontend best practices that still shape how I build and structure my work today.
02/2017 — 03/2021
I began my career part-time as an Office Manager during my studies and quickly grew into a Project Coordinator role, where I discovered my passion for dynamic work in a multinational environment. I coordinated international projects in Russian-speaking countries, using both Russian and English on a daily basis when communicating with foreign partners. Although I enjoyed this work, the challenging job market ultimately led me to make a bold decision — to pivot my career toward software development.
2015 — 2017
I completed a Master’s program in Russian-language Translation & Interpreting at Masaryk University, Brno. During my Master’s studies, I focused on technical translation with the goal of pursuing a career in the commercial sphere after graduation. This path was challenging, as it required not only linguistic precision but also building technical knowledge across specialized fields.
2012 — 2015
I’ve always been passionate about foreign languages, which led me to study Russian at bachelor’s level with a focus on Commercial Practice. Combining language and business helped me understand how language skills can be used in practical, real-world contexts.
