Quantitative aspects of biology/medicine, market research and social sciences lie in the centre of my professional activity, the scope expands occasionally to other fields, though. My formal education, which I have obtained from top-ranked polish universities, is twofold. First, at Warsaw School of Economics, I chose to be thoroughly trained in advanced paper/pen mathematics and statistics. Today
this gives me a solid basis for constant learning and applying quantitative methods with comprehension that goes far beyond mere operating of statistics-related software. Second, during my years at the Faculty of Psychology at the University of Warsaw, I invested some time in perfecting a crucial bi-directional skill: the ability to translate stories into numbers, and numbers back again to stories. However it is experience, combined with constant informal training, that enables me to do my job conforming to the standards of my profession. I am devoted to the tactics of seeking and undertaking challenging tasks, which require me to gather new theoretical knowledge and solve new practical problems. Having mastered the joint programming environments of R and RapidMiner (among others), I have acquired the abillity to implement solutions at their computational level with the use of the probably most flexible and innovative set of tools for predictive analytics and data mining nowadays. Both hard and soft skills contribute equally to successful statistical consulting. I pay as much attention to careful communication and overall climate of cooperation as to the core merits of the tasks. I am ready to help in solving problems, not only equations.
