Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolJames Westwood is a Senior Data Scientist with seven years' experience turning scientific and regulatory data into robust, reproducible pipelines and clear consumer-facing insights. Trained in polymer chemistry (MSc, Leeds) with further credentials in environmental science (SOAS), he blends deep domain expertise in sustainability, indoor air/water quality, and food safety with practical data engineering and analytics. He has led commercial remediation projects in China for clients like Alibaba and Google, built benchmarking algorithms and reporting systems for a consumer food-testing platform, and helped the ONS deliver open-source SDG reporting at national and international scale. Comfortable moving between hands-on Python development and product strategy, he is as likely to write reliable data pipelines as to design SOPs that make complex toxicology results unambiguous for the public. Based in Newport, Wales, he brings an unusual mix of entrepreneurial grit, international operations experience, and scientific rigor to data-driven public sector and consumer health problems.
