Hi! I’m Yulia, a Python developer who enjoys building backend systems — and occasionally breaking them just to understand how they work better. I’ve spent more than 7 years working with Python in production, mostly on data-heavy applications.
Originally from Russia and now based in Portugal, I enjoy learning new languages and exploring life in a new country.

strong ref, weakref and garbage collector walks into a bar
Yulia Markelova
In Python, objects live as long as something is holding on to them—and sometimes that’s way longer than you expect. This talk explores how references, the garbage collector, and weak references interact to determine object lifetimes, with real-world examples like lru_cache quietly keeping objects alive.
