Yuval Bakirov — Data, Analytics, Machine Learning and Applied AI

Portfolio LinkedIn Email

Hi, I'm Yuval

I work across data analysis, business intelligence, machine learning, applied AI, and automation. I enjoy taking an open-ended problem, understanding the data behind it, and building a result that people can use - whether that is a dashboard, a forecasting model, an analytical study, or an AI-assisted workflow.

  • Data Specialist at Check Point Software - analytics, reporting, data quality, dashboards, and automation.
  • Former AI Engineer Intern at Checkmarx / CodeMatch - LLM embeddings, vector search, benchmark data, and model evaluation.
  • B.Sc. in Digital Sciences and Economics, Tel Aviv University - 2024 Dean's List.
  • Based in Israel and open to conversations across data, analytics, AI, and technology.

Selected projects

CodeMatch

Developed an AI-driven system that identifies semantic similarity between code snippets beyond basic text matching. The project uses LLM embeddings, vector search, benchmark datasets, and model evaluation to represent the meaning of source code, retrieve related snippets efficiently, and assess result quality.

Forecasted ride demand near the Empire State Building using time, weather, events, and location signals. Compared ensemble models, with CatBoost achieving the lowest RMSE.

Forecasting CatBoost Python Big Data

Built personalized top-10 recommendations from more than two million interactions using collaborative filtering, content-based methods, and matrix factorization.

Recommenders Python SQL Evaluation

Created a binary-classification pipeline using static file features, exploratory analysis, feature preparation, model training, and reliability evaluation.

Classification Random Forest Pandas EDA

Explored pricing, occupancy, neighborhoods, host behavior, and revenue efficiency to turn marketplace data into practical business insights.

R EDA Visualization Analytics

Applied NLP and deep-learning workflows to classify dialogue from Friends and Seinfeld, including preprocessing, representation, and model comparison.

NLP Deep Learning CNN Text

Predicted daily bicycle demand from weather, temperature, season, and time features using optimized ensemble-regression models.
