Own the problem end to end
I can take a data-science problem from scoping and solution design through implementation, integration and handover.
Bob Pepin · Independent Data Science Consultant
Data Science & Quantitative Modelling
I work independently with organisations on technically demanding data-science problems, from early scoping and solution design through implementation and integration with existing systems.
How I can help
Some data-science projects are straightforward to implement. Others require more judgement: deciding what should be built, testing whether the approach is reliable, and making it work within the systems already in place.
This is often where I come in: clarifying the problem, challenging the technical approach, and carrying the solution through to implementation and integration.
Case study
Managing risk in fixed-price electricity contracts
An energy company needed to decide how much electricity to buy in advance and how to price its fixed-price offers. I built a scenario model and a working tool connecting electricity prices, customer choices and consumption, so it could compare hedging decisions and estimate the risk remaining in its offers.

Add specialist capacity
I can work alongside an existing team on the parts that need deeper technical attention, whether that means reviewing the approach, solving a specific problem, or carrying a focused workstream through to delivery.
Independent by design
You work directly with the person doing the technical work, without a separate sales or delivery layer.
Technical background & credentials
PhD in stochastic analysis, with experience across machine learning, quantitative modelling, energy markets and senior data-science consulting.
Modelling
Forecasting, optimisation, simulation and model validation, with particular strength in problems involving uncertainty and complex system behaviour.
Machine learning & AI
Applied machine learning, deep learning and decision systems, from model development through evaluation and production integration.
Engineering
Python, C++, cloud platforms and production data/ML systems, with experience integrating technical solutions into existing environments.
