Ricardo Randall PhD
My background
Obsessed from a young age with science and mathematics, I have travelled from research in genetics to pure data science with many interesting stops along the way. I first tasted data science during my PhD in Cardiff, UK, where I used statistical programming and machine learning algorithms for object recognition in images. Learning database languages such as My SQL and new programming languages such as Python and Matlab in my following years in academic research lead me to a nice bridge into pure data science. Inspired by friends making this transition I graduated from the Pivigo Science To Data Science (S2DS) school in London, having made connections with fantastic colleagues in the industry. This gave me the skills I needed in data engineering, visualisation and machine learning that I needed to properly enter the data science industry. After a few years working in laboratory informatics I then embarked on the exciting journey of self employment. I’m keen to work with you, let’s chat!
Timeline
2015
Graduation with a PhD in Genetics at Cardiff University, publishing two papers in peer-reviewed journals describing my research
2018
Graduation from Pivigo Science to Data Science (S2DS) school after successful data science project with a partner from the electricity-balancing capacity industry
2021
Successful completion of a project at the University of Zürich that employed Python scripting to process and analyse complex bioinformatics and super-resolution image data. Leads to sole-author publication in Science Reports
2024
Over three years of service working for employers in the laboratory informatics industry ends. I come away with additional data engineering skills such as data warehousing, SQL database management, data migration, data modelling and APIs.
Present
Never ceasing to learn new skills in the data industry, I continue my training in the latest data management, engineering and science tools whilst offering my services to clients in need of a reliable contractor to take charge of their project/s and to take them from conception to delivery.
