Leonid Zhizhin

Economist, writing in Python, R and Stata. Experienced Linux user. Last couple of years, I've been conducting quasi-experimental researches, including data collection and processing, hypothesis testing and presentation of results. I like learning new technology and to uncover the internal mechanism of various processes. I am looking for a product analyst job and am primarily interested in a strong team, working on complex, skill-intensive tasks.
