Driven by a love of learning and technical excellence, Lada's at home with extreme programming, test-driven development, and domain-driven design. She has a way of unravelling accidental complexity, turning large tangled codebases into something you can actually work with – making it possible to finally add that feature everyone's been waiting for.

She believes that positive change happens through small, consistent steps that compound over time - whether it's improving a system through continuous refactoring or helping teams grow stronger through shared learning. Her approach pairs deep technical expertise with genuine empathy for both end users and fellow developers. As one of her former managers put it, she doesn't just deliver quality fast – she empowers and up-levels entire teams along the way.

Recognized as one of Consulting Magazine's Women Leaders in Technology, she approaches every challenge with unwavering optimism (and an occasional sprinkle of dark humor).
