Top SchoolNikolai Smetanin is a data scientist with 11 years of interdisciplinary experience and over 8 years focused on data analysis, machine learning, and Python engineering. He has applied academic rigor from a PhD in Computer Science and strong applied-math foundations to build production ML systems across retail, insurance, and neurotechnology. At Rubbles he created a standalone Python library that automated promotion planning and became a key component of an AI toolkit for retailers and CPGs, and at AXA UK he now builds data-driven solutions to streamline claims settlement. His earlier research developed low-latency real-time brain-computer interface software used widely by the scientific community, demonstrating a knack for turning research prototypes into robust tools. Based in Cambridge, he combines deep technical skills with product impact, often bridging research-grade methods and production constraints to increase profitability and operational efficiency.
