My name is Olga Kovaleva, and I am a Lead Data Scientist with over nine years of experience in big data analytics, machine learning, and complex systems optimization. My professional focus is on designing and implementing scalable analytical solutions that improve business efficiency and enable companies to make data-driven decisions.

I currently lead the machine learning and analytics domains at Yandex Ads — one of the largest digital advertising ecosystems in Eastern Europe. Under my leadership, key projects are being delivered to enhance the quality of advertising traffic and to automate moderation processes.

My professional interests lie at the intersection of technology, mathematics, and business. I believe in an approach where analytics becomes an integral part of a company’s strategy, and machine learning serves as a tool that delivers tangible value. I am passionate about the development of the Data Science community and am always open to professional knowledge exchange, discussing practical cases, and collaborating on research in big data and artificial intelligence.

In short, I am someone who loves data, believes in the power of analytics, and knows how to turn complex algorithms into real business results.
