Currently, I am a fourth-year Ph.D. student at Ghent University (Belgium). I am working with sentiment analysis and emotion detection mainly but also have experience with other NLU tasks. 

During my Master's study, I had project jobs in Ukrainian and Estonian startups. At the last one, I worked as a Junior Data Scientist for half of the year. I created simple and efficient solutions for text summarization, named entity recognition, language detection from audio, etc. At the previous startup, I spend a year, firstly as an intern and then as Junior Data Scientist. I implemented a function for language detection and worked on the industrial Master's thesis (topic modeling and product clusterization for online shops). Also, I had a project job for a couple of months as a Junior Machine Learning Engineer. I worked on an automated FAQ system and developed a tool for sentence similarity detection. Other tasks were text classification, text clustering, synonym detection, etc.

My main skills:
- Programming languages: Python (industrial and research experience, including data analysis modules), R (study experience).
- Relational databases (SQL).
- Software & Tools: version control system (Git), task management (Slack, Trello, Jira).
- English (C1)
I am looking for a job position to start after my PhD defence (summer 2023) to earn industrial experience and bring my academic knowledge to real-life tasks. I am open to projects in the Natural Language Processing area.
