Work Experience

Data Science Lead, NDA

Duration: 2021 - now

Responsibilities:

  • Implemented a chatbot using GPT LLM and LangChain framework with Rasa framework (to handle user sessions and track chats).
  • Chatbot maintains a wellness-style expert conversation with the user and simultaneously analyses what user types for important life events, depressive thoughts, traumas, relational problems, etc.
  • Store detected data in the User Profile, and during conversation use the User Profile to answer, taking into account known data about the user.
  • It is implemented as a part of ChatBot a RAG system that searches for relevant answers in the wellness database.
  • Chatbot handles in a smart way context window size, removes non-important conversation messages from the start or middle, takes into account whether the user is paid or free uses different LLMs, and dynamically creates a prompt.

Data Science Lead, Model Performance Evaluation

Duration: 2017 - 2021

Summary:

  • Managed and participated in team efforts on developing prediction models for CTR, Landing, View-Through, Visibility, and outcome models, such as Visits, Interacted, and Lifted.
  • With prediction models achieved >50% cost decrease for running users ad campaigns

  • Proposed an approach for back-testing and implemented a live-testing framework for evaluating model performance. Researched and developed a CPM optimization model, which decreased bidding costs by 20%.
