Dear Sir/Madam,
I am a data scientist and programmer specialised in the development of file management, data munging, analysis and visualization programs using Python, SQL, and R, and I would be happy to hear more about your project. On a number of occasions, I have taken code written by others and modified or refactored it to suit new applications of data sources. I can work up to 8 hours a day, with a little notice, but if the work is there, I'd happily work full time. My basic hourly rate is $25.
To give you more details on my background, my academic education was in Ecology and Natural Resources management, up to masters level, during which I gained skills in quantitative data analysis, programming, and statistics. This lead me to take on positions in data management and analysis with environmental consultancies for over five years, and I have additional experience gained from volunteer work placements, and my current role as a freelance data scientist and developer. Some key past projects are listed in my portfolio on my profile page.
I will be looking forward to hearing back from you about this opportunity.
Kind regards,
Shaun
