About Me
Data scientist, AI developer, and sports psychologist bridging human behavior and technology.
I'm Vladimir Novkov — a data scientist, AI developer, and sports psychologist based in Sofia, Bulgaria. For over a decade, I've been building intelligent systems that bridge the gap between psychology and technology.
My journey began at 16Personalities.com, where I spent 10 years as a senior data scientist building personality assessment dashboards used by hundreds of millions of people worldwide. This experience gave me deep expertise in psychometrics, data visualization, and building products at scale.
In parallel, I developed SportPersonalities.com — a 183,000-line AI platform that applies personality science to athletic performance. This project combines my passion for sports psychology with cutting-edge machine learning.
In Bulgaria, I'm known as the "Synergistic Man" — appearing on Bloomberg TV Bulgaria, hosting psychology podcasts, and speaking about the intersection of human behavior and technology.
