Summary
Pieter Leffers is a senior population health intelligence analyst and data scientist with nine years’ experience turning public health questions into actionable analytics, most recently at Finity Communications. Trained as an MSPH in Biostatistics, he blends rigorous statistical methods (SAS, Stata) with production-grade Python, cloud (AWS), and parallel-processing engineering to shepherd projects from concept to deployment. His work spans government surveillance and policy-impact analyses—co-authoring state tobacco and chronic disease reports whose findings informed legislation—alongside startup AI engineering where he built proprietary OCR, data augmentation pipelines, and a parallel audio-dictation library. Comfortable moving between research and production, he’s skilled at picking up non-expert projects and delivering polished, documented solutions for colleagues and clients. Based in Portland, he actively shares small, practical data-science projects on GitHub and enjoys mentoring teams to adopt reproducible, scalable workflows.
