Biography

I am trying to find the causes for variance in the Mozilla Talos performance test suite and ways to reduce it to make the tests more reliable.

MSc Thesis (2010-2011): Performance Analysis of Mozilla Firefox, supervised by AlexPotanin.

Study the sources of noise in performance tests (including comparing use of VMs), and develop techniques to reduce the noise. (Random noise in our performance measurements is a huge problem for us, when we're trying to measure small changes in performance ... lots of small changes can add up to big changes.)

Reality

My masters is all about creating TPS reports aka Office Space!
