I’m a protein crystallographer turned data scientist with two decades of research experience across Australia, Scotland, Sweden, and England. Early work at the interface of biology, chemistry, physics, and computation led to 20+ peer-reviewed publications. Today, I focus on building reliable, uncertainty-aware models for real-world sensing—most recently Bayesian and machine-learning pipelines for continuous methane emissions monitoring in the energy sector.

Technically, I work with probabilistic modeling (Bayesian inference, PyMC, RJ-MCMC), Gaussian plume modeling, anomaly detection, and spatio-temporal analysis. I build production-ready Python workflows (NumPy, Pandas, SciPy), interactive visualizations (Plotly), and reproducible cloud/HPC stacks (Linux, Git, Azure/AWS). I care about clear communication and stakeholder alignment, translating noisy data into concise, decision-ready insights.

I’m motivated by practical impact—reducing uncertainty, quantifying risk, and improving operational decisions. I’m now seeking roles that combine scientific rigor with modern data science and ML engineering to deliver measurable value in climate/energy, industrial sensing, or similarly data-rich domains.

Published articles.

I have a proven record of adaptability, and fast learning. I am eager to compliment existing skills in order to transition into data science. I am highly motivated and keen to make an impact.
