Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolNick Gondek is a Data Scientist and Research Software Engineer based in Berkeley with a decade of experience building analytics, ML, and cloud-enabled pipelines for environmental science, agriculture, and policy. He combines time-series, causal inference, and deep learning expertise with hands-on engineering—Python/R, SQL, PySpark/Dask, and AWS/GCP—to turn messy sensor, genomic, and regulatory data into production-ready tools and dashboards. Nick has led cross-functional teams to deploy models for vertical farming variety evaluation and image-based crop phenotyping, and he built an LLM-driven regulatory API to accelerate clean energy siting decisions. His background in ecology and physics (particle theory interests noted in his GitHub bio) gives him a rare ability to bridge rigorous experimental design with scalable software systems. Colleagues rely on him as a technical generalist who cleanup data, ship reproducible workflows, and translate domain complexity into actionable product features.
