I\u2019m Valeria, and I am an SEO specialist and tech writer for the Auslogics Tech Wisdom Blog. Although I don\u2019t have a formal tech education, I\u2019ve always been a tech enthusiast, passionate about exploring and learning new things, whether it\u2019s through travel, books, or the latest technologies. I stay updated with the latest news, ideas, and opportunities, with my go-to sources being the Search Engine Journal and TechRadar. Naturally, this passion, backed by my background in marketing and my curiosity, led me to the Auslogics Blog, where I combine my love for marketing and writing as an SEO and tech writer. 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\/4075","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=4075"}],"version-history":[{"count":23,"href":"https:\/\/www.auslogics.com\/en\/articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4075\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":95593,"href":"https:\/\/www.auslogics.com\/en\/articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4075\/revisions\/95593"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.auslogics.com\/en\/articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/91425"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.auslogics.com\/en\/articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4075"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.auslogics.com\/en\/articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=4075"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.auslogics.com\/en\/articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=4075"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
