Acerca de Darren

I’m a Python engineer who builds backend systems for complex, data-driven problems.

With a background in astrophysics, I specialise in turning abstract logic — from scientific papers, mathematical models, or loosely defined ideas — into clear, reliable, production-ready code.

I design systems that go beyond quick scripts or dashboards: structured, maintainable applications that process and make sense of complex data.

What I typically work on:
  • Backend systems and services in Python
  • APIs and data processing workflows
  • Translating models and algorithms into robust implementations

I write correct, clean code designed to scale — configurable, extensible, and built to last.

If you need someone who can take a complex idea and turn it into something that actually works, let’s talk.

Experiencia

  • Freelance
    Freelance Scientific Software Developer
    noviembre de 2018 - Hoy (7 años y 7 meses)
    Delivered backend systems, data pipelines, and production Python software for research-driven and data-intensive applications.

    End-to-end ownership: design, implementation, client alignment, and deployment.

    Long-Term Core Project: Data Pipeline & Indexing Platform (Apr 2022 – Present)

    Independently designed and evolved a platform constructing economic indices from large-scale global news datasets.

    ▪ Built a configuration-driven framework enabling non-developers to define new indices without modifying code
    ▪ Designed resilient data ingestion and transformation pipelines with explicit validation and failure handling
    ▪ Implemented published methods for index construction into reliable, testable systems
    ▪ Developed robust automation workflows for large-scale historical data collection
    ▪ Evolved the system over multiple years into stable, production-grade infrastructure

    Other Selected Work:
    ▪ Simulation systems (agent-based, multithreaded, epidemiological models)
    ▪ Numerical optimisation and modelling (ODE/PDE systems)
    ▪ Data analysis pipelines and visualisation workflows
    ▪ Implementation of methods from academic literature without reference implementations
    ▪ Technical documentation and reproducible workflows

    ▪ Work often involves implementing methods directly from academic literature where no reference implementation exists

    junio de 2020 - febrero de 2022 (1 año y 8 meses)
    Barcelona, Spain
    Worked on large-scale data ingestion and backend systems supporting eDiscovery and compliance use cases.
    • ▪ Contributed to 20+ third-party APIs for large-scale ingestion (billions of files, multi-petabyte datasets)
    • ▪ Designed efficient data synchronisation logic, reducing API usage while maintaining completeness
    • ▪ Observability and monitoring (metrics, dashboards, system diagnostics)
    • ▪ Refactored backend services to improve readability, testability, and maintainability
    • ▪ Contributed to CI/CD improvements and system modularisation

    BANCA & SEGUROS
    octubre de 2016 - octubre de 2017 (1 año)
    Naxxar, Malta
    • ▪ Co-authored a mathematical research paper proposing a novel approach to quantifying insurance risk
    • ▪ Translated mathematical models into production code, with careful attention to numerical stability and model validity
    • ▪ Contributed to the design of a Python-based system modelling financial risk and lifecycle outcomes
    • ▪ Developed REST APIs to expose computational models
    • ▪ Integrated backend systems with structured financial data
    • ▪ Improved code quality through testing, refactoring, and performance optimisation
    • ▪ Produced technical documentation for internal and external use
