Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolRohan Takhar is a Senior Software Engineer, Researcher and Data Scientist based in London with 10 years of hands-on experience building large-scale data platforms and clinical research systems. He specialises in extracting and analysing nation-wide medical datasets (billions of rows) using PySpark/Databricks on AWS and turning them into real-time dashboards and decision-support tools for clinicians. His full-stack background spans Python, Django, R/Shiny, React/Next.js, PostgreSQL, Neo4j and Docker, plus legacy stacks (PHP, Java) enabling him to integrate complex pipelines from GP records, imaging (XNAT) and genomics. Rohan has repeatedly designed and deployed bespoke CMS and secure data collection systems across NHS trusts, combining engineering rigor with regulatory-aware data handling. Not obvious from his title: he pairs clinical informatics with practical visualization skills (D3, Leaflet) and has built search/databases from web-scraped and free-text medical notes to support researcher workflows. He brings an academic-research mindset to production delivery, translating epidemiological requirements into auditable, policy-informing software.
