9 years at Picsart, one of the world's largest creative platforms, across two departments that look different on paper but required exactly the same skill. I started where the messy human problems live: Trust & Safety, content moderation, policy judgment at scale. Then I moved into engineering, into QA, into validating AI features before they reached millions of users. The thread running through all of it is the same: paying close attention to things that can go wrong, understanding the people on the other side of the product, and making sure what reaches them is right Best regards, Fenya Khachatryan
