Senior🎓
Top SchoolAndy Pickering is a research scientist and data scientist with 12 years of experience turning messy environmental and energy datasets into actionable insights for utilities and research teams. With a PhD in physical oceanography and a strong background in physics, he builds reproducible analysis pipelines and internal R packages, combines R/Python with SQL for large-scale processing, and creates interactive R Shiny tools and parameterized reports to communicate results. He has applied his skills to energy efficiency programs, ocean mixing research, and autonomous vessel data, and maintains community-facing, version-controlled code for reproducible science. A longtime advocate for knowledge sharing, he founded a local data science meetup, blogs about his work, and balances technical rigor with practical impact—often developed while hiking Colorado trails with his wife and two dogs.
