What I'm looking for

I seek analytical roles combining time-series/ML and finance—impact-driven teams, clear mentorship, hands-on modeling, and opportunities to apply econometrics to real market problems.

I am a data scientist and finance-focused quantitative analyst with a background in computer science and an MSc in Data Management for Finance. My work blends econometrics, time-series modeling, and machine learning to extract actionable insights for valuation and trading problems.

I have built Python projects for crypto arbitrage detection, model comparisons for sports outcomes, and sentiment-driven price analysis, leveraging libraries like pandas, NumPy, scikit-learn, TensorFlow, and PyTorch. I have practical experience applying ARIMA/GARCH, portfolio tools, and backtesting frameworks to real market data.

I bring project coordination experience from NGOs and sports organizations, strong communication in Armenian, English, and Russian, and a commitment to rigorous statistical methods and reproducible analysis that drive business decisions.
