I'm Sergei Savvov, a Machine Learning Engineer and chemist with a nomadic spirit that's led me from the heart of Moscow, Russia to the vibrant streets of sunny Madrid, Spain.

C++

In my formative years, I delved into the world of C++, crafting software for embedded systems that was both vast and repetitive, yet brimming with potential. My mission was to provide power system consumption analysis modules for large enterprises. This endeavor unveiled a new path as I realized the untapped potential of machine learning models to forecast power consumption based on collected data—a pivotal moment that launched my journey into Data Science.

Data Science

My journey began with a foundation in Quantum and Physical Chemistry, where programming was a missing piece in the puzzle. However, my academic journey was steeped in statistical methodologies that would later morph into the popular Classical ML algorithms. This laid the groundwork for my analytical thinking and ignited a flame for lifelong learning. Recently, I’ve ventured into the intriguing realm of DevOps, broadening my horizons beyond my previous expertise in MLOps and backend development.
