📊 Data Scientist & Analytics Consultant | BSc Accounting & Finance | MSc Data Science | UK Based
I help businesses stop guessing and start deciding with confidence. Whether you have data scattered across five systems, dashboards nobody trusts, or reports that take days to produce manually, I come in and sort it out – from the messy raw data all the way through to clear, reliable outputs that people actually use.
🔍 What I do
▸ Data audits and validation: tracing KPIs back to their source and confirming whether the numbers are right
▸ Unified reporting: building a single source of truth across multiple platforms and business systems
▸ Dashboard development: Power BI, Tableau, and Excel reporting that non-technical teams can read and act on
▸ Predictive modelling: forecasting, trend analysis, and performance models built in Python, R, and SQL
▸ Financial analytics: P&L, EBITDA, cash flow, debtor days, margin analysis and other finance KPIs
▸ Ad hoc analysis: quick, clear answers to specific business questions
🏢 Industries I have worked across
▸ Manufacturing (including a 40,000-employee global organisation)
▸ Digital and ecommerce
▸ Financial services and fintech
▸ Supply chain and operations
▸ Marketing and commercial
🎓 Background
BSc Accounting and Finance: so I understand what the numbers mean to the business, not just how to calculate them.
MSc Data Science: so I can get into the data, validate it properly, and build robust models and reporting on top of it.
8+ years working with multinational organisations across complex, multi-system environments.
🛠 Tools and technologies
Python · R · SQL · Power BI · Tableau · Excel · Xero · JobLogic · various ERP and CRM platforms
✅ How I work
I am based in the UK, work to strict deadlines, communicate clearly throughout a project, and deliver work I am genuinely confident in. If my output does not meet your expectations, I will make it right.

High-Performance Web Development Backed by Enterprise Data Science
Are you looking for a generic web designer who just builds pretty pages, or a strategic technical partner who engineers websites to maximise business revenue?
I offer a completely unique hybrid skill set: expert local web development combined with elite enterprise conversion analytics. For over two decades, I have designed, migrated, and managed high-performing digital platforms. My background isn't just in writing code—I have spent years optimising user journeys, running sophisticated A/B testing frameworks, and engineering data architectures for multi-billion-pound global brands.
When you hire me, you get enterprise-grade digital strategy scaled down to fit your business's exact growth goals.
• Core Services for Small & Medium Businesses - through my active digital agency work, I handle end-to-end digital production, infrastructure management, and localised marketing:

• Automotive Leaders (BMW Group UK & Jaguar Land Rover): Where I ran comprehensive conversion rate optimisation (CRO) frameworks and user journey A/B testing to maximise platform engagement.
• Global Retail & Telecoms (Burberry & Three Mobile): Where I utilised Databricks, complex SQL frameworks, and advanced data science methodologies to optimise customer insights and digital channel performance.
• High-Traffic Media & Public Sector (The Guardian & Department of Health & Social Care): Where I managed technical analytics infrastructure, ensured robust data tracking integrity, and presented strategic insights directly to senior executive stakeholders.
I take the exact same user experience (UX) insights, advanced GA4 tracking methodologies, and conversion principles used by these massive corporations and bake them directly into your small business website build.
Technical Skillset Summary
• Web & CMS: WordPress, Responsive Web Design, Site Migrations, Domain Architecture
• Marketing & Tracking: Local SEO, Google Business Profile, GA4 Advanced Tracking, Event Mapping

I build AI, forecasting, risk-modelling, and decision-support systems in Python for businesses that need reliable, explainable outputs rather than black-box prototypes.
I help clients turn messy operational data, technical ideas, or research models into working dashboards, APIs, reports, and production-ready analytics pipelines.
I am a PhD-trained applied mathematician and AI/data science specialist with 20+ years of modelling experience across machine learning, predictive analytics, quantitative modelling, simulation, operational analytics, and real-world decision-support systems.
I can help with:
• Predictive analytics and forecasting
• Machine learning model development and validation
• Python dashboards using Streamlit, Plotly, pandas, and NumPy
• Risk scoring systems and decision-support tools
• Quantitative finance and simulation models
• Data cleaning, feature engineering, and pipeline design
• AI/LLM-assisted analytical tools
• Model benchmarking, testing, documentation, and handover
Selected projects:
1. Heston Model Calibration
Built a reproducible quantitative finance calibration framework for the Heston stochastic volatility model using Fourier pricing, constrained numerical optimisation, multi-start robustness checks, and diagnostic visualisations.
2. Probabilistic Renewable Dispatch
Developed a Python decision-support system for renewable energy forecasting, uncertainty calibration, and risk-aware dispatch planning using probabilistic forecasts, conformal calibration, optimisation, Streamlit, and FastAPI.
3. Latent Performance Benchmarking
Created a portfolio benchmarking framework using Fama-French-style models and stochastic frontier decomposition to separate systematic exposure, noise, and latent performance shortfall.
4. Sensor-Driven Risk Scoring System
Built an industry time-series analytics pipeline combining environmental and occupancy signals to generate operational early-warning risk scores for decision support.
My approach is structured and delivery-focused:
• Clarify the objective, constraints, and success metrics
• Audit and validate the available data
• Build a reproducible modelling pipeline
• Test assumptions and document limitations
• Deliver clean code, clear outputs, and practical recommendations
• Provide handover documentation so the solution is maintainable after delivery
Clients receive robust models, readable code, clear documentation, and outputs that support real decisions — not just notebooks or isolated scripts.
