About

Hi, I'm Evgeny Ivanov, an applied scientist. Currently, I'm a Principal Data Scientist at Profi, a marketplace of services where customers can find professionals, and professionals can find customers. At Profi, I've:

• Developed models, solved optimization problems, and led projects that improved key metrics of the two-sided matching platform.
• Created a Data Science team to enhance the core algorithms of the marketplace. Hired machine learning engineers, analysts, and a product manager.
• Designed and analyzed advanced experiments when classic user-based A/B tests were not possible. Developed an internal library for analyzing experiments.

Prior to this role, I developed and implemented a demand forecasting and inventory optimization system in a fashion retail chain.

Also, I developed rico, a Python package for creating HTML documents from rich content: dataframes, plots, images, markdown etc.

I'm interested in:

• Solving optimization problems using machine learning and maths.
• Two-sided matching platforms, marketplaces, and economics.
• Statistics and causal inference.
• Python and software engineering.
