James Trimble is a data scientist with 12 years’ experience blending rigorous computer science research and practical data products, currently at Kraken after a stint leading interactive Census 2021 visualisations at the UK’s Office for National Statistics. He holds a PhD in Computing Science from the University of Glasgow and has a track record of turning NP-hard algorithmic ideas into working code in Python, C/C++ and Java, including a widely-cited integer programming formulation for kidney exchange. His background spans academia, government economics, and consultancy, giving him a rare mix of formal optimisation expertise and applied policy-facing analytics. Colleagues benefit from his ability to ship production-quality visualisations and simulation tools that directly inform decision-making.
