For more than a decade, I utilize the R and Python programming languages to process, visualize and extract information from data and for almost five years for Geospatial analysis. I'm the author / maintainer of R packages (I've submitted more than 10 to CRAN). You can view my Github profile at the following weblink: github.com/mlampros I work with R and Rstudio on a daily basis. I can work with machine learning algorithms based on almost all CRAN, Github or Gitlab repositories. I can utilize visualization R packages such as ggplot2, plotly, tmap, leaflet, mapview. I can create shiny applications (shiny.rstudio.com/gallery/) and report my results in .pdf, word, .html or any other available format using Rmarkdown. Moreover, I'm capable of using the hybrid 'Rcpp' and 'RcppArmadillo' R packages to improve the efficiency of R code and the Keras and Pytorch deep learning libraries for regression, classification, object detection or image segmentation (with or without pre-trained models).

I turn messy, high-stakes data into decisions people can act on. Over 15+ years and 66 Upwork contracts (~4.9/5 stars across rated jobs, 84% perfect 5.0s), I've built my practice on one promise: you get a clear answer, a tool your team can actually use, and plain-English communication throughout. What I do best: * Interactive R Shiny dashboards and analysis platforms: 12+ shipped, including a 20+ package bioinformatics platform and a no-code causal-inference tool for pharmaceutical analysts * Machine learning and predictive modeling: injury prediction for an NFL franchise, mortgage default risk, game simulation * Statistical analysis: hierarchical Bayesian modeling, MaxDiff and survey analytics, meta-analysis, causal inference * R package development: a production package built over a 952-hour flagship engagement, plus a released CRAN package * Quantitative finance: DCC/GARCH modeling, asset allocation, backtesting frameworks Domains I know well: healthcare and EHR data, bioinformatics and genomics, finance and trading, marketing analytics, survey research, and sports. How I work: independently, end to end. Most clients hand me a problem, not a spec. I scope it, deliver in agreed milestones, and explain the results so non-technical stakeholders can make the call. That approach is why most of my work is repeat business, and why "Committed to Quality" and "Clear Communicator" are my two most-endorsed client tags. M.S. in Bioinformatics from Johns Hopkins. Co-author on 8 peer-reviewed papers. US-based native English speaker. If you have data that should be driving a decision and isn't yet, let's talk.

I help research, healthcare, education, and behavioral science teams turn complex data into clear findings, publication-ready reports, dashboards, and AI-enabled tools. I bring a rare mix of PhD-level statistical training and hands-on AI/data engineering. My background includes 200+ Upwork jobs, Top Rated status, published academic research, graduate-level statistics teaching, grant evaluation work, and current work as a Lead Data Science & Analytics Architect for a VA-facing behavioral health chatbot. I can help with: - Statistical analysis in R, Python, SPSS, JASP, or Stata - APA-style results sections, tables, figures, reports, and presentations - Regression, GLM, multilevel models, SEM/factor analysis, mediation, power analysis, meta-analysis, and ML models - Survey data cleaning, coding, visualization, and interpretation - Dashboards in Power BI, Tableau, R Shiny, or Microsoft Fabric - AI agents, RAG/GraphRAG workflows, NLP, Azure AI, and Microsoft Copilot Studio solutions My clients usually come to me when they need more than a quick chart. They need analysis that is technically sound, clearly explained, and ready for stakeholders, reviewers, funders, or product teams. Send me your research question, dataset, analysis plan, or AI/data product idea, and I'll help clarify the best next step.

I'm a proactive data scientist with a strong background in programming and economic analysis. Skilled in analytical problem-solving and experienced programming. I have the experience to lead and work in a team. Reliable, detail-oriented, and committed to delivering high-quality work. MSc in Economics, so the reporting I build starts from the business question, not the chart. Your team shouldn't be doing manually repeated processes. I build automations that move it for them - Sheets, Forms and Gmail wired to WooCommerce, Jotform, CRMs and REST APIs. Who I work with: Small and mid-sized businesses running their operations on Google Sheets/Excel/Other repositories that have outgrown copy-paste: sales and inventory tracking, order intake, quoting, and recurring reporting. What I've built: - A sales and inventory system in Google Sheets + HTML with a live dashboard, replacing manual daily consolidation across multiple locations. - WooCommerce → Google Sheets order sync over the REST API, so stock and revenue reporting stay current without exports. - Jotform → Sheets → Gmail intake flows that validate submissions and send formatted quotes automatically. - An interactive Power BI dashboard for a national trends study, turning survey data into a public exploration tool. - R Shiny apps for a data-driven business. Data extraction using Python, information processing, storage in MariaDB and AWS S3, data connection via SQL and R, data cleaning and organization, and app development using R frameworks. - And more .... How I work: I start from your actual spreadsheet and your actual process. You get a short written plan before I write any code, clean and commented Apps Script/R/Python that runs in your own account/machine, and a walkthrough so your team can maintain it without me. Stack: Google Apps Script - Sheets / Forms / Docs / Gmail / Drive APIs · REST & webhook integrations (WooCommerce, Jotform, CRMs, ...) - R - R Shiny - Python - SQL - Looker Studio - Power BI My unique perspective: I run my own businesses in Colombia — retail, food and services — and I automated my own operations before I automated anyone else's. That changes the questions I ask. Not "can this be automated", but whether it cuts a cost, frees up a person, or brings money in faster. If a process isn't worth automating, I'll tell you that instead of quoting it. Tell me what your process looks like today and where it breaks. I'll tell you within a day whether it's worth automating and roughly what it takes.
