Emil Niyazov
Data science student with 2+ years of experience in machine learning, analytics, and Python/SQL development. Building data pipelines, NLP tools, and spatial dashboards that turn complex data into actionable insights.
Who I Am
I focus on turning complex data into clear, decision-ready insights. My work spans real-estate analytics, NLP for document intelligence, and spatial dashboards. I enjoy projects that combine data engineering, visualization, and automation to create practical, measurable impact.
Work History
- Machine Learning & NLP: Built anomaly detection and classification models on property listings and images, improving the accuracy of real estate analytics from 80% to 98%.
- Pipeline Engineering: Engineered automated pipelines for web scraping, transformation, and SQL storage, ensuring clean and reliable analytical datasets, and reduced manual review time by 5 hours/week.
- Dashboards & GIS Tools: Designed Tableau dashboards for HR and financial teams and developed an internal GIS application to enhance spatial analysis capabilities.
- Reporting & Growth: Delivered concise real estate market reports with key trends and forecasts, contributing to strategic planning while progressing from Intern to Junior and then Data Analyst.
- Automated Data Collection: Built Python scrapers (Scrapy, Pydoll, Playwright) pulling from 40+ international news, government and multilateral sources, with per-site parsers and handling for dynamic pages and rate limits.
- Data Cleaning & Structuring: Developed a pandas processing layer for de-duplication, boilerplate and paywall stripping, language detection and country/entity tagging, normalising output into a queryable PostgreSQL corpus.
- AI Analysis & Automation: Designed the prompt architecture and output schema for an LLM stage (OpenAI API, locally hosted Ollama models) producing source-cited assessments of economic, political and geopolitical conditions across 6 countries; scheduled in Docker, replacing ~8 hours of manual research per market.
- Strategic Research & Speech Development: Conducted in-depth research to shape impactful themes and talking points for the Secretary General's speeches at high-level international meetings.
- Event & Stakeholder Coordination: Coordinated the X and XI Global Baku Forums, managing diverse stakeholders and ensuring seamless planning and execution.
- High-Level Engagements: Participated in delegations meeting with global leaders, presidents, ministers, and senior officials, contributing to strategic activities during High-Level Meetings.
Selected Work
LibrAIs — AI Video Intelligence for YouTube
Winner of the Data & Design Hackathon 2026 at The University of Sheffield. A web app that takes a YouTube link and automatically transcribes it, generates subtitles, summarises the content, extracts key insights, and even identifies the University of Sheffield building where the video was recorded — helping users quickly find the most relevant content.
