Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolPetri Palmu is a researcher and data scientist with over eight years of experience turning micro-level survey and register data into actionable insights for labour markets, wellbeing and productivity. Based at Trade Union Pro in Finland, he combines economics, statistics and econometrics with practical programming (R, Python, SQL, JavaScript) to build automated data production, analysis and decision systems. His work spans measurement of social systems and aggregating individual behaviours into macro‑level synthesis—an interest rooted in his master's thesis—and he frequently communicates results through teaching, consulting and media. Petri’s background includes roles at Statistics Finland and industry research, and he contributes to open-source projects such as adding search functionality to a popular fullstack-hy2020 site. A lover of mathematics and complex systems thinking (influenced by ecological and entropy perspectives), he brings multidisciplinary curiosity and a knack for making messy social data influence policy and practice.
