Summary
Max Blasdel is a data reporting and analytics consultant with eight years of experience building Python- and R-driven data engineering solutions for large healthcare systems and energy research projects. Currently at Kaiser Permanente, he designs and ships analytics pipelines and reporting tools that support decision-making across complex, regulated environments. His background in environmental science and GIS gives him a strong foundation in geospatial analysis, large raster/tabular data management, and reproducible research workflows. Max has applied those skills from biomass energy modeling and carbon emissions research to production analytics, bridging domain science and enterprise data engineering. Colleagues rely on him for pragmatic data cleaning, scalable ETL, and clear visualizations that turn messy inputs into actionable insights. Based in Portland, he combines technical depth with an unusual cross-disciplinary perspective that blends environmental modeling and healthcare analytics.
