Top SchoolNataliia Kovalchuk is a Senior Data Analyst & Engineer with 11 years of professional experience and a 13-year academic foundation in physics, including a PhD in High Energy Physics. She translated hands-on particle physics expertise—from 4 years at CERN and 3 years in Japan—into building robust, DCAT-aligned data infrastructures and metadata-first ecosystems for production use. At Liip and now SWICA she combines software engineering, data modelling, and sustainability principles to turn unstructured raw data into reusable, interoperable knowledge while advising on architecture and privacy-conscious deployments. She also applies machine learning to extract insights from historical documents and contributes to AI-driven chatbot tooling using GPTTreeIndex. Known for bridging research-grade analysis (Python, C++, ML toolkits) with production software practices, she brings a rare mix of physics rigor and practical engineering. Based in Zurich, she is an open-data and metadata advocate focused on long-term data stewardship and reuse.
