Throughout my studies, I had the opportunity to work on innovative and interdisciplinary research projects. My Bachelor’s thesis focused on psycholinguistic text analysis, exploring the subconscious effects of language through phonetic perception, NLP techniques, and emotional influence assessments. This experience honed my analytical skills and deepened my understanding of human-computer interaction in text analysis applications.
During my Master’s studies, I developed an advanced antivirus operating system integrating AI-driven threat detection, virtualized threat containment, and cloud-based security intelligence. The program’s emphasis on both theoretical foundations and practical implementation enabled me to design and prototype security solutions with real-world applicability.
My Ph.D. research further advanced my expertise in computer systems and cybersecurity by focusing on machine learning-based methods for identifying computer system states. The rigorous scientific approach and access to cutting-edge research methodologies at NTU “KhPI” allowed me to contribute novel techniques in anomaly detection, decision tree-based classification, and ensemble learning for cybersecurity applications.
Building on this strong academic foundation, I have successfully established my career as a self-employed Software Developer, Software Architect, and Solutions Architect, collaborating with various companies such as Epam Systems, Team International, Dev.Pro, and etc. With extensive experience in both the Ukrainian and U.S. markets, I have led and implemented complex software and cybersecurity solutions for various industries. As a self-employed professional, I continue to develop innovative products and services that address modern cybersecurity challenges, leveraging the knowledge and research methodologies cultivated during my time at NTU “KhPI.”
NTU “KhPI” provided a robust academic environment, with strong faculty mentorship, state-of-the-art research opportunities, and a culture that fosters critical thinking and innovation. The university’s emphasis on applied research and industry relevance greatly contributed to my ability to bridge theoretical knowledge with practical implementation.
I highly value my experience at NTU “KhPI” and appreciate the institution’s role in preparing me for a professional career in software development and cybersecurity. I look forward to continued collaboration with the university and hope it continues to nurture future generations of engineers, architects, and business leaders.
