Summary
Benjamin Jeffrey is a Senior Machine Learning Engineer based in London with eight years of experience building production ML systems at the intersection of data science, data engineering, and cloud engineering. He holds a PhD from Imperial College London where he developed predictive software for the epidemiology of antibiotic resistance, and has applied that domain expertise to biosecurity and infectious-disease intelligence at PHC Global. Skilled in Python, statistics, DevOps, databases and cloud-native tooling (AWS, Kubernetes, Docker), he moves models from research into scalable SaaS deployments. His background spans genomic data pipelines, time-series and spatial modeling, and feature engineering for drug-target discovery, giving him a rare blend of epidemiological insight and production ML craft. Now at Boon, he focuses on delivering robust, operationalized ML that informs real-world health and safety decisions.
