Summary
Fraser Parlane is an intermediate software engineer and data scientist with nine years of experience building data-science tools and production pipelines that turn complex numerical simulations and satellite data into actionable insights. He has led an $8M autonomous robotics and materials-science program at UBC—producing multi-objective Bayesian optimization algorithms, cloud-parallelized simulations, ETL stacks, dashboards, and nine publications—then brought that research-to-production rigor to Earth observation work delivering calibrated thermal sensor products. Fraser combines strong analytical and visual storytelling skills with domain expertise in optimization and ML, and he thrives in collaborative, research-driven environments where hypothesis-driven experimentation matters. Notably, he has a track record of translating lab-scale scientific breakthroughs into deployable software systems and securing follow-on funding and citations that demonstrate real-world impact.
