Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolPaul Stevenson is a Senior Data Scientist specialising in experimentation and a former biostatistician with a PhD in analytical chemistry, bringing eight years of experience bridging laboratory science and data-driven decision making. He has built experimentation frameworks and governance at SEEK to ensure metrics align with company OKRs, and previously managed biostatistics delivery for early-phase clinical trials at Avance Clinical. Paul began his career designing bespoke code to analyse 2D-HPLC data and transitioned into biostatistics after a graduate diploma, giving him rare domain depth in both analytical chemistry and clinical analytics. At the Telethon Kids Institute he established reproducible research workflows, ran R training, and created R Markdown templates that improved reporting consistency across projects. He combines hands-on statistical programming, experiment design and stakeholder-facing reporting automation to make complex analyses actionable. Outside of product experimentation, his background in method validation and regulatory-facing lab leadership means he’s comfortable translating rigorous scientific standards into scalable data practices.
