Scattered data, arranged into decisions.

I'm Jonas — a data scientist based in Melbourne. I build the models, pipelines and tools that take complex data and turn it into something a business can act on.

What I actually do

I enjoy working with numbers, finding patterns, looking at trends and visualise them in a way even people from non-technical background can appreciate. I like to ask why, why customers are satisfied, why the metric has changed in recent month, what are people talking about that's new. That takes me one step further — finding the specific driver behind a number, sizing how much it matters, and handing someone a tool they can keep using after I leave.

Day to day that means building and maintaining data-rich and interactive dashboarding, statistical modelling(regression, tree model, segmentation, factor analysis) for enterprise clients, integrating LLM into data pipeline that make unstructured verbatim data analysable at scale, and automation that quietly removes hundreds of manual hours for a client.
