I’m Boris Gorelik. Right now my main focus is building Loud Camel.
I’m building Loud Camel
Loud Camel makes researchers’ work impossible to overlook.
A researcher’s citations, grants, and collaborations depend on who knows their work — but staying visible takes constant effort most people don’t have time for, and AI search engines like ChatGPT and Perplexity increasingly decide what gets read and cited. Loud Camel does that work for you: it finds the people who should know your research — likely reviewers, collaborators, editors — watches for the right moments to reach them, and drafts the outreach, posts, and plain-language summaries, all grounded in your actual papers. You review and send; nothing ever goes out in your name without your say-so.
It arrives as a recurring email brief. It’s in early-access testing now — take a look at loudcamel.com.
Background
I’ve been building data-based models since 2001 — machine learning for churn prediction, cancer detection, anomaly detection, forecasting, and social network analysis — and I’ve built and led data teams along the way. I still take the occasional consulting or advisory conversation; it’s just not where my attention sits these days.
I’m a communicator
I write Direction Matters, a newsletter on teamwork, communication, and data-driven decision-making. I also speak and run workshops — in English, Hebrew, and Russian — and some of my talks are on YouTube.
I teach and mentor
I teach data visualization and data-based decision making, and colleagues, friends, and the occasional stranger ask me for advice. I’m always happy to help. This page summarises my teaching activity.
I co-produce a podcast
I’m the co-editor and producer of This Week in the Middle East, the oldest active Hebrew-language podcast devoted to the region.
Research
My academic publications, ORCID, and Google Scholar profile are on my research page.
