Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolPratik Gupte is a Senior Research Software Engineer based in London with nine years of experience building high-performance simulation models and analytics software for epidemic modelling and pandemic preparedness. He blends quantitative science and production-grade engineering to develop disease outbreak and policy-intervention models used by academic and public-health partners at institutions including Imperial College London and LSHTM. Trained as an ecologist (PhD) with deep expertise in geospatial and animal-tracking datasets, he brings uncommon fluency in linking remote sensing, climate data, and GPS telemetry to inform robust, data-driven simulations. His work spans research software for scenario modelling, tool development for massive position-tracking datasets, and collaborations with national and international health agencies through initiatives like Data.org Epiverse. Comfortable moving between field-derived ecological data and scalable epidemiological software, he is known for pragmatic, reproducible code that translates complex models into policy-relevant insights.
