Hey!
My name is Nataliia, I originally come from Odesa, Ukraine.
I started my software development journey in 2015. Throughout my career, I had a chance to work with diverse technologies, but my biggest passion has always been Java & JVM.
Luckily I work at Azul, which is the only company 100% focused on Java 😃 I’m a backend engineer who likes to poke my nose into the lower level concepts and how things work under the hood. Together with Jasper Dijt, I also run FrozenBits IT, a small consultancy for backend, JVM and cloud work.
Also, I’m building fun pet projects from time to time, which help me learn. Some examples are: a toy programming language on JVM, or a debugger for the JVM bytecode.
In summary, most of my insights come from playing with things and digging (at times too deep) into the docs.
Sometimes I talk at the Java User Groups and conferences about fun things that I learn. But mostly I like to write about it, that’s why this blog exists.
If you’re curious, here you can find some of my talks and some of my other work, such as a Java magazine article or a dev.java method handle tutorial.
Hope you find this blog educative and fun!
