Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolAlex P is a Senior Airport Analyst and PhD candidate in Quantitative Risk Analysis for UAS with a decade of hands-on experience blending aviation operations, data science, and production software engineering. He has designed and deployed production-grade systems—from a C++ 4D air traffic deconfliction tool trialed live to cloud-native Python/React services on AWS/GCP—demonstrating an unusual ability to move research into operational use. His work spans large-scale spatiotemporal ML on terabyte air traffic datasets, distributed HPC simulations, and practical UAS integration systems that combine voice, situational awareness, and MAVLink interoperability. Comfortable across high-performance C++ and modern web stacks (React/TypeScript, FastAPI, Django), he also brings applied NLP and optimisation expertise for stakeholder insight and logistics planning. Based in Bristol, he’s actively seeking roles where rigorous modelling and aviation-domain intuition can drive measurable impact in aviation, insurance, or finance. An aviator at heart, he pairs real-world flying experience with academic rigor to build systems that safely scale novel airspace capabilities.
