Data Scientist | Machine Learning Engineer | Researcher
I am a data scientist focused on modeling and forecasting problems that support high-impact decision making. I am motivated by turning uncertainty into actionable insight, where analysis directly influences real-world outcomes.
My background spans applied machine learning, time series forecasting, and data engineering. I have built production forecasting systems for energy markets, analytical pipelines for quantitative trading, and conducted research in multimodal deep learning. My work emphasizes robustness, interpretability, and deployment at scale.
I follow a “business before ML” approach: define the decision problem first, build strong data foundations, and use the simplest effective models before adding complexity. I am particularly interested in forecasting, optimization, and decision-making under uncertainty.
My long-term goal is to work as a quantitative researcher or machine learning engineer on technically deep problems with clear economic impact.

Received an email from my professor congratulating me for being in the top 10 students in the Machine Learning Engineering class. A reminder of the value of steady, consistent work.
Accepted to Delft University of Technology (TU Delft), the highest-ranked university in the Netherlands and ranked among the top 50 universities worldwide. In the QS 2025 rankings, TU Delft is placed top 14 globally in Engineering & Technology.
I ultimately chose not to attend due to financial considerations after receiving a significantly more affordable offer from Leiden University.
After leaving Ukraine in 2022, I applied to Dutch universities and was initially rejected by Maastricht University due to formal entry requirements (11 vs. 12 years of schooling).
After passing the OMPT-D mathematics exam with a 95% score and sharing the result, an admissions officer later reached out, acknowledging the result and noting that my mathematical background made me a strong fit despite the original rejection.
In 2022, as the war in Ukraine began, I moved from Ukraine to Paris with my mother and sister. My father stayed behind due to restrictions, so I took on responsibility for them.
While finishing school in Paris and applying to Dutch universities, I was offered reduced tuition if I obtained temporary protection status in the Netherlands. My status was still in France.
Within three days, I said goodbye to teachers and friends, traveled with my family to the Netherlands, and stayed in a shelter while awaiting documents. Once finalized, I returned to Paris to finish school, arriving just in time for graduation.
