I build production-oriented NLP, computer vision, and ML pipelines for scientific and behavioral data.
What I'm looking for
At SpaceLab, I build end-to-end machine learning systems, including a Russian-language RuBERT classifier for Telegram behavioral text and an OCR pipeline that digitizes handwritten geomagnetic archives into structured time series.
I also co-architect a multi-camera animal-behavior monitoring system using RF-DETR, DeepLabCut, and LSTM models. Alongside applied ML work, I co-author research on human-perception-based color extraction and conduct large-scale geomagnetic and seismic data analysis.

Machine Learning Engineer
SpaceLab LTD
Apr 2025 - Present (1 year 5 months)
Built an end-to-end Russian-language NLP pipeline over 125,894 Telegram messages, fine-tuning RuBERT into a 3-class behavioral-text classifier with 0.84 macro-F1. Developed a multi-stage computer-vision OCR pipeline to digitize handwritten geomagnetic K-index archives and co-architected a real-time multi-camera animal behavior monitoring system.
Research Assistant
