Profile Summary

I am a data scientist with a background in neuroscience and over eight years’ experience applying advanced analytics to complex datasets. I thrive in collaborative environments, enjoy tackling complex problems with data-driven approaches, and have strong communication skills developed through public speaking, teaching, and writing. I currently deliver data-driven projects at the University of Cambridge and with Memorify, a health-focused start-up, where I use behavioural and computational methods to analyse patterns, model outcomes, and generate solutions. At the core, I believe data are data, whether reflecting brain activity, a user behaviour, or a company’s sales patterns. My passion lies in transforming that complexity into clear and impactful insights. Proven expertise in: - Programming & Analytics: Python, R, Matlab, machine learning, signal processing, statistical modelling, data management; - Project & Problem-Solving: Behavioural analytics, predictive modelling, project management, cross-functional collaboration, reporting; - Communication: Public speaking, stakeholder engagement, teaching & training, scientific and business writing. Always eager to learn new skills and frameworks (fitting for someone who has built a career on learning and memory), I thrive where curiosity meets innovation. 💡 Open to opportunities in data science, analytics, and project management where I can help organisations unlock value from data and improve outcomes. 💻 Github: https://github.com/Felippe-espinelli
