Summary
Benjamin Bellman is a database developer and data scientist with eight years of hands-on experience turning messy records into trusted operational systems and actionable insights. With a PhD in Sociology from Brown, he blends rigorous research methods and advanced record-linkage algorithms with pragmatic ETL, warehousing, and geolocation solutions used across county government and sports analytics. He has led migrations of hundreds of thousands of justice records, automated geolocation for 240,000 voters to improve ballot delivery, and modernized HR and case-management reporting — always prioritizing trust and user relationships. Benjamin’s work spans from backend data pipelines to executive memos and dashboards, and he’s applied optical-tracking and event-data techniques to real-world player evaluation and contract negotiations. Colleagues rely on him for integrity, clear communication, and for bridging the gap between complex data engineering and the human decisions that depend on it.
