Alexander Ershov is a data scientist with 12 years of professional experience and a strong competitive pedigree as a Kaggle Competitions Expert. He has progressed from field engineering and IP analysis into analytics and machine learning roles across major Russian firms, currently driving data initiatives at VTB after recent stints at Alfa-Bank and VK. His background combines hands-on fraud detection and product-focused ML with practical engineering discipline developed earlier in wireline field work. Comfortable operating at the intersection of research and production, he has a track record of taking models from prototypes to bank-grade deployments. Based in Moscow with a Master’s in Electrical Engineering from the University of Southampton, he brings a blend of rigorous academic training and real-world, cross-industry problem solving.
