Conducted research to understand the root causes of the problem and hypothesized that providing daily insights and practices, along with a visual roadmap of their progress, would help users stay motivated and engaged with the app. We then implemented this approach and tested its effectiveness, which resulted in a significant increase in retention and engagement rates. Based on these positive results, we continued to develop and personalize this feature to provide even more value to our users.

Automated Solution to Calculate an Optimal filling of Retail Space
Challenge: Optimization of Retail Space: We have a certain number of shelves in a store and various display zones that must be represented. The task is to fill the shelves in such a way that the chosen layout is maximally effective in terms of revenue and also meets business requirements.
Solution: I wrote a library in Python that, based on sales data and store size, calculates how the retail space should be filled. It utilizes a Beam Search algorithm that, at each step, retains not just one best solution, but the top N solutions. This approach allows for diversity (as the best solution at each step does not always yield the best sequence) and maintains a reasonable breadth of search by not analyzing very poor filling options. This solution is automated, simplifying its use for business representatives.
Outcome: This solution will be used for zoning in the deployment of new stores and the redesign of old ones

Making customer reviews more informative.
The business struggled to receive insights from customer reviews to improve product quality because they lacked the necessary details. I released a feature that allowed customers to select tags by category when evaluating a product (For example: Taste -> Sugary, Sour, Oversalted). This provided businesses with systematic customers feedback, which they used to make targeted improvements that resulted in the average goods rating increase by 20%.
Setting up transfer to card flow
As an iOS developer in FG BCS, a leading investment company in the Russian market, I contributed to their app for private investors.
I implemented a flow of transfer money from a user's account or cart to a card of another bank: users selected an account or a cart to transfer money from, next step they entered card PAN or a phone number and selected another user’s bank from the suggested list.
Crafted a Web App for cosmetics recommendations employing ML and AI technologies.
As CTO at PrimerAI, I developed an intelligent platform for personalized cosmetics suggestions using ML and AI, including OpenCV, GPT-4, and K-means clustering for skin tone detection and categorization. I employed a holistic approach in developing and implementing this web app, which analyzed users' skin tones using computer vision and unsupervised ML algorithms. My contributions covered all aspects of the project, including designing and building the frontend and backend of the web app, as well as administering Linux servers. This ensured a seamless, end-to-end product experience that catered to our users' needs.
