Hello! My name is Dmitry Abbakumov. Currently, I work as a 'Psychometrician-in-Residence' with several EdTech projects around the world. Over the course of one to two quarters, I act as a playing coach. I work directly alongside each project's team to apply psychometric and data science techniques, addressing challenges in learning experiences, user engagement, and product effectiveness. Previously, I worked as the Chief Psychometrician at
TripleTen, an online coding bootcamp operating in the Americas, and in the EdTech unit of
Yandex, a prominent tech company. Prior to this, I led psychometrics and learning analytics for a Coursera Project at the leading university in Eastern Europe and Eurasia. I hold a PhD in Methodology of Educational Sciences and Statistical Modeling from
KU Leuven, a prestigious university renowned as Europe's most innovative. My work has resulted in significant improvements in marketing, product development, content creation, and student support. The case studies below showcase the results and impact of my initiatives.
