Summary
Eleanor Eiffe is a software engineer based in Sydney who combines eight years of technical experience with a deep scientific background, transitioning from a decade-long career as a medicinal chemist into Python, React, and SQL development. She has led data transformation and engineering work at Evidentli, translating AI research into production-ready healthcare tools and currently engineers at LawY. Eleanor’s scientific rigor informs her approach to complex data problems—she previously designed 400+ novel compounds and managed hit-to-lead programs and regulatory submissions in oncology. Comfortable across full-stack development and data workflows, she builds practical tools that standardise and analyse messy healthcare datasets. Unusually, she began learning to code in 2018 by building chemistry-focused tooling that generated chemical structures, blending domain expertise with software craft.
