I pride myself on my ability to explain complex tech concepts in understandable language for readers even without technical expertise. With over 5 years of experience in SEO and more than 2 years in tech writing, I specialize in guides on security, PC optimization, and resolving all sorts of Windows issues. This is why the \u201cHow To\u201d section of the Auslogics Blog is my favorite.","sameAs":["https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/valeriia-burmatskaia-dos-santos\/"],"knowsAbout":["Search Engine Optimization (SEO)","Content Strategy","Copywriting","Windows","Technology","Social Media","Digital Trends","Digital Security"],"knowsLanguage":["English","Portuguese"],"jobTitle":"SEO Specialist & Tech Writer","worksFor":"Auslogics","url":"https:\/\/www.auslogics.com\/en\/articles\/author\/valeria-burmatskaya\/"}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.auslogics.com\/en\/articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/29371","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.auslogics.com\/en\/articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.auslogics.com\/en\/articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.auslogics.com\/en\/articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/71"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.auslogics.com\/en\/articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=29371"}],"version-history":[{"count":30,"href":"https:\/\/www.auslogics.com\/en\/articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/29371\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":103993,"href":"https:\/\/www.auslogics.com\/en\/articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/29371\/revisions\/103993"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.auslogics.com\/en\/articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/47807"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.auslogics.com\/en\/articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=29371"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.auslogics.com\/en\/articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=29371"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.auslogics.com\/en\/articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=29371"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
