About Me

An accomplished Data Scientist with a rare combination of deep mathematical training and production engineering experience. My journey began winning international olympiad medals across Europe, the Middle East, and Central Asia — over 20 medals in competitions like IMC, SEEMOUS, and the Putnam Mirror.

I hold an MSc in Data Science, AI & Machine Learning from the Skolkovo Institute of Science and Technology. Currently working as a Data Science Developer applying NLP, Computer Vision, and deep learning to real-world challenges.

Before data science, I was an energy engineer — which gives me a first-principles problem-solving mindset most data scientists lack.
