Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolMichael Hodge is a Lead Data Scientist based in Cardiff with a decade of experience building data platforms and ML lifecycle capability across government and national statistics bodies. He has led MLOps and data engineering efforts at the Ministry of Justice—implementing model registries, feature stores and monitoring—and previously advanced geospatial, computer vision and NLP projects at the Office for National Statistics. His career blends hands-on cloud and automation (AWS, Terraform, GitHub Actions) with regulatory and governance experience from a secondment as Head of Data and Automation at the Office for Statistical Regulation. Trained as a geoscientist (PhD Cardiff, MSc Bristol), he brings a quantitative, research-led approach to production ML and has applied remote sensing and UAV-derived 3D modelling in fieldwork, a less obvious thread that informs his spatial and modelling intuition.
