Leykun Getaneh Gebeye
Data Scientist · Statistician · Data Analyst
I am a Data Scientist, Statistician, and Data Analyst with over a decade of experience at the intersection of academic research and applied analytics. My work bridges statistics, machine learning, and deep learning — with a particular focus on applying data science to disease modeling, forecasting, and public health decision support systems.
I transform complex data into actionable insights using R, Python, SAS, Stata, and SPSS. My modeling toolkit spans Tidymodels, TensorFlow, and PyTorch, including transformer-based approaches like Temporal Fusion Transformers (TFT).
Beyond modeling, I build interactive data products and reproducible analytical workflows with R Shiny, Python Shiny, Streamlit, Plotly, and Quarto — communicating results through dynamic visualizations, dashboards, and automated reporting.
