Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolMatt Dray is a Data Analyst/Scientist with over a decade of experience delivering reproducible, production-focused analytics for the UK public sector, including Civil Service and NHS settings. He specializes in R-driven data science, statistical quality assurance, and building reproducible analytical pipelines for dissemination and decision-making. Trained as a research scientist (PhD in Ecology; MSc in Entomology), he brings a strong experimental and statistical mindset to messy, policy-facing problems. Based in London, he balances rigorous technical practice with clear communication of results to non-technical stakeholders. An active blogger and maintainer of public code and writing (matt-dray.com, rostrum.blog, GitHub), he combines applied public-sector impact with an academic habit of curiosity—occasionally evidenced by a fondness for almond croissants.
