Summary
Jeroen Minderman is a Senior Data Scientist with over 15 years of cross-disciplinary experience translating ecological research and academic modelling into pragmatic, reproducible data science for government and NGOs. He combines deep domain expertise in behavioural ecology and socio-ecological modelling with hands-on proficiency in open-source tools (R, Python) to build sustainable in-house analytics capability and robust version-controlled pipelines. At the Office for National Statistics he has lectured and led projects that bridge technical delivery and stakeholder needs, and he continues to support international statistical capacity-building across Africa and the Middle East. Known for a pragmatic, cost-effective approach to reproducibility and maintenance, he brings academic rigour from a PhD in behavioural ecology to applied problems in international development and public-good statistics. Based in Alloa, Scotland, he now applies his blend of research and production experience to senior data science roles in both public and private sectors.
