Employment

  • Lead Data Scientist

    2020 - 2021
    Botprise, Inc.
    • Developed back end for full ML cycle (ModelOps and MLOps) on the platform.
    • Worked on dozens of automation use cases, including MLOps, analytics, DataOps, networks, ITOps, and more.
    • Created back end and partially front end (React) for drag-n-drop chatbot building application.
    • Implemented and deployed several dozens of different algorithms (classification, clustering, time series, NLP, computer vision) for different use cases.
    • Led small ML team (planning, management, monitoring, leadership).
    Technologies: Amazon Web Services (AWS), Python, Flask, MongoDB, Apache Kafka, React Redux, REST

  • Senior AI Developer

    2019 - 2020
    Akcellita
    • Developed an ingestion and processing pipeline on AWS for photos from surveillance cameras.
    • Experimented with various non-DL and DL approaches and tested them. Trained and used the Siamese Network with an attention mechanism, achieving 95%+ accuracy.
    • Created and shared presentations with analytics to executives. Developed and maintained a Wiki for the project.
    Technologies: Amazon Web Services (AWS), AWS, TensorFlow, Python

  • Team Lead

    2018 - 2019
    The National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine
    • Led and mentored a team of students. I defined objectives and controlled the process using the Agile methodology.
    • Created a tool for crops classification and map creation.
    • Collected data both manually, and via web scraping using Mapillary, and oversaw the data labeling.
    • Implemented and tested DeblurGAN and several other classic deblurring methods.
    • Oversaw field localization (YOLO) and crop classification by fine-tuning a ResNet model.
    Technologies: OpenCV, PyTorch, TensorFlow, Keras, Python

  • Senior Data Scientist

    2017 - 2019
    Openwave Mobility
    • Created a multi-staged data pipeline from raw packets data (TCP/IP layer) to consumable inputs for machine learning models with multi-processing implementation in Python (CPython).
    • Trained, tuned, evaluated and compared multiple machine learning models in Python (scikit-learn, Keras, XGBoost, CatBoost) and C++ (mlpack).
    • Oversaw the data analysis and communication with stakeholders. Created a reusable Python tool for rapid and externally configurable data analysis reports generation.
    • Implemented custom feature generation algorithms based on expert knowledge based on aggregation, derivatives, delays in TCP/IP conversation, products, and fractions.
    • Implemented custom multi-staged feature selection algorithms that were model based.
    • Deployed and monitored the project in production in the network. If the tool detects congestion, optimization policies were applied. Customers reported up to a 20% increase of quality of delivery for video content.
    Technologies: C++, Python

  • Data Scientist

    2015 - 2017
    Octetis
    • Developed, deployed, and evaluated a hybrid recommendation engine in Python for an online store.
    • Oversaw customer behavior analysis, visualization, and stakeholder communication.
    • Handled different scenarios of user engagement using a strategy pattern. Contextual recommendations were given based on popularity (general and category-based), item-to-item, and SVD. (Python, scikit-learn, SciPy). The system was integrated into a Django website.
    • Conducted multiple A/B tests with random sampling for evaluation of the system. Compared to the most popular items in the category baseline, we achieved up to a 150% boost in purchases-per-session, and increase of revenue.
    • Created an image super-resolution module for an online Cloud site constructor with Keras.
    • Utilized middle-deep CNN, trained on several blur kernels, and deployed it as a service via REST.
    • Conducted surveys showing an increase of about 5% in the satisfaction for users of the platform.
