Summary
Mark Ruddy is a Senior Spatial Data Scientist with 11 years of academic and commercial experience applying R, Python, SQL and GIS to environmental and heritage problems. His PhD in physical geography and MSc in Quaternary Science underpin a career delivering reproducible spatial analyses and database-driven mapping for clients across energy, heritage and public sectors. At Arup he combines consulting with research-style curiosity to find novel uses for spatial data, and previously supported national emissions inventory mapping and archaeological planning decisions. He’s equally comfortable writing production-grade data pipelines as he is crafting cartography and communicating insights to non-technical stakeholders. A long-standing freelancer and museum database manager, he brings rare domain depth in geoarchaeology and earth science to practical data-science workflows.
