What I'm looking for

I seek senior statistical programming roles delivering regulatory-ready SDTM/ADaM outputs, HEOR modelling, and forensic data quality in collaborative, compliance-focused teams with opportunities to implement automation and best practices.

I am a Principal Statistical Programmer with extensive experience in oncology, immunology and HEOR, delivering SDTM/ADaM datasets, TLFs, define.xml and regulatory-ready analyses for Phase I–IV studies and non-interventional comparative efficacy projects. I lead programming specifications, SAP review, macro development, data cleaning/reconciliation, and ensure quality, timelines and inspection readiness using SAS, R, SQL and version control.

I have delivered cost-effectiveness and Bayesian/Markov modelling work, pooled trial safety/efficacy summaries and complex pharmacokinetic derivations, and I thrive implementing automation and best practices to improve efficiency and compliance for submissions and HEOR deliverables.
