Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolEd Baskerville is a computational modeler and software developer with 13+ years of experience building scientific software and statistical models for public health, ecology, and complex systems. He holds a Ph.D. in Ecology & Evolutionary Biology with scientific computing training and has applied Bayesian, probabilistic, and machine learning methods to infectious disease problems from antibody evolution to causal inference in epidemic time series. As founder of Baskervillle Consulting he consults for CDC forecasting initiatives and has a history of building end-to-end tools—from Rust prototypes for “local-first” personal software to full-stack web apps and Apple platform code. He also created TakeCongress.org, a donation platform that pragmatically influenced political races by raising over $200k, showing a rare mix of civic tech impact and product instincts. Comfortable across Julia, Python, R, Stan, C/C++, SQL, and modern front-end stacks, he combines deep quantitative rigor with pragmatic engineering and a persistent interest in climate, democracy, and public-good software.
