Who am I?

I am a scientist with 15 years of experience across academia, pharma and tech in the domains of economic decision making, statistical programming, and healthcare analytics. I consider it my job to think deeply, collaborate intentionally, and influence others in order to improve and extend lives.

In practice, I lead the development of data-driven solutions to problems. Sometimes these solutions take the form of a strategic or scientific recommendation. Other times they take the form of a piece of software or scientific report.

When I am not developing solutions, I strive to train and guide others to be more confident and effective in their roles, while learning the same from my own mentors.

What is this site?

I see this site as a place to write and share my, mostly professional, but also occasionally personal, thoughts on a range of topics.

The professional topics will range from data science, to healthcare analytics, to organizational and leadership.

The personal ones will be a mixture of personal reflections and artistic content like photography

What am I doing now?

As of November 2024, after almost 1 year as a stay-at-home father, I am open to new full-time opportunities for scientific leadership with a purpose-driven organization. If you know of an open or upcoming role that I could be a good fit for, please do let me know.

I am also available for consulting on an hourly basis. Contact me to learn more.

Contact

The best way to get in contact me is via email at nathaniel.d.phillips.is@gmail.com. You can also use LinkedIn but I don’t check that as often.

Developer notes
