About

I’m Ivan Gorban, a staff data scientist. The core of my work is shipping data, ML, and AI systems on specific projects — taking ideas from research-grade prototypes through to production, where they affect real decisions and real users.

A few threads run through the work I focus on:

• Causal inference — moving from “what predicts X” to “why does X happen, and what would change it?”
• AI applications — building tools that make real work easier, not just flashier.
• AI, ethics, and education — what AI changes about how people learn, teach, and decide.

Currently

More on what I’m shipping right now is on the way. In the meantime, /papers covers the academic side and /podcast covers the industry conversations. The talks below give a flavor of recent work.

On the side

Quoin is a pet project of mine — a developer workflow library that started as claude_dev_workflow. It gives developers a structured way to plan, implement, and review work with AI agents without giving up control of the codebase. Launch posts are coming to Medium and LinkedIn shortly.
