QA / human / maker of my own things

I'm Kris.

I don't just want to find where things went wrong. I want to understand why.

FRAME 01 · BEHIND THE BAR

At first, I was just
doing my job.

In the first frame, I'm behind the bar at Kit Club, making a drink and chatting with a guest. This is where the story began, long before I had any plans to work in tech.

The starting point: working at a billiards club.

FRAME 02 · AT THE TABLE

Then I picked up
a cue.

While working at the club, I started playing too. This frame captures a key habit in Russian billiards: don't hit at random. Look at the line and the whole table first.

Billiards became: more than a workplace backdrop — part of my life.

FRAME 03 · A CONVERSATION

At the club, I met
people who worked in tech.

In the third frame, we're talking over a laptop. They told me about their work and products, and explained what a software tester actually does.

Something new: finding bugs and odd behaviour can be a job.

FRAME 04 · LEARNING

After each shift,
the studying began.

A laptop, notes, and lots of new information. I began studying testing, turning my natural “why does it work like that?” into a practical way of working.

The first step: from curiosity to a profession.

FRAME 05 · TODAY

The two worlds
finally came together.

In the last frame, I'm working on a laptop with my cue still nearby. After training, I combined QA with my work at the club — and gradually began making my own projects.

What came next: testing, figuring things out, and building my own ideas.

Sometimes a new path begins
right at your old job.

02 / HOW I WORK

I can't justleave it at:“well, there's a bug.”

I want to find out where it came from, who it affects, and how to explain it without leaving people guessing. When I don't know something, I investigate rather than pretend to be an expert.

At the table,
I'm still Kris.

I worked at the billiards club Kit Club — and I play Russian billiards myself.

I like that hitting harder isn't enough. You need to see the whole table, work out the trajectory, and take your time. In a way, it's a lot like testing — except the bug is a ball that went somewhere completely unexpected.

Then shoot.

05 / SOMETHING PERSONAL

One day,
I felt lonely.

I spend a lot of time at my computer. At some point, I wanted a little companion nearby — someone to care for. That's how the idea of Moti began.

idea → try → try again → it works

So, I test things,
dream things up, and never sit still.
