Data Services
Do you have a dataset that's been lying around untouched because you have so many other things to do?
Do you have a half finished project that's been left on the back-burner for far too long?
Are you designing a new study and need advice on research design?
Do you need some professional figures to submit with your next publication?
Or, are you a graduate student that wants some coaching and advice through the process of research design and analysis?
I am a creative data scientist and researcher that seeks to make sense of the world by leveraging advanced data analytics with sound research methodology. I am passionate about developing creative solutions for analyzing, visualizing, and exploring ecological data. I also offer consulting help with observational and experimental research design, specializing in plant ecology. Let me help your data tell their story.
If you are a student just starting grad school or soon to finish, I can also help coach you through developing your initial research ideas all the way to analyzing your data and presenting your results. I have coached many students in the field of ecology and absolutely love teaching. Reach me here to see if I can help!
I offer these services and others (see below), but don't hesitate to reach out to me if you have any questions. Contact me here and we can start a discussion to see if I am the best fit for you. See my portfolio page for examples of my past work.
Services
Deductive data analysis: Analyzing datasets to test particular hypotheses via frequentist, model comparison, likelihood, and Bayesian methods.
Data management and cleaning: Ecological datasets can be messy--often in spreadsheets that mimic the way data was entered in the field and in a difficult format to use for analysis. I can help you clean up, arrange, error-check, organize, and prepare your data for analysis.
Descriptive and predictive modeling: Analyzing datasets to find and explore patterns using cluster analysis, ordination, classification, genetic algorithms, and other machine learning approaches.
Quantitative research design: Beginning with your research questions, I can help you develop and design your observational or experimental research projects, along with planning appropriate data analyses.
Analysis script preparation and understanding: I currently do all of my data work with R and after analyses are complete I can work with you to ensure you understand how the analysis scripts work so that you are able replicate and fully understand the analyses.
Data visualization: Professional and easy to understand figures are essential for any good publication. I can help you create publication or presentation quality figures for any purpose.
Writing and presentations: Once analyses are complete, I can write all the methods and results involved in the analysis, helping you prepare your manuscripts. I can also build powerpoint slideshows or individual slides for presenting your results.
Online dashboards: Online dashboards provide a way to present and share data and results through interactive websites. I work with Shiny to build online applications for presenting your data interactively.
Data Coaching and Mentoring: Whether you are a senior graduate student or an undergrad working through their undergraduate thesis, I can help coach you through developing your research question, designing your research project, analyzing your data, and/or presenting your results. I have successfully worked with and mentored numerous undergraduate and graduate students over the last six years and enjoy one-on-one teaching.
Project Management
Depending on the length and complexity of the project, I suggest that we work through Slack for managing progress and communication.
Payment and fees
I want to be 100% transparent about my fees and in most cases will offer my services at fixed estimates on a project-by-project basis. To generate an estimate, my hourly rate is $68. We will work together to ensure my estimate fits your budget and establish a list of all deliverables and deadlines before any project is started. I also offer discounts on a case-by-case basis.

Client Testimonials
"Luka understood and filled our needs perfectly and on a very short timeframe. He is now my goto resource for all our data analysis and reporting needs." — Jason (media publishing) "Luka did great work. He went so far as to read relevant literature to make sure he got the analysis right. Communication was crisp and thorough throughout the process. You can feel confident when ordering from Luka." — Daniel (biologist) "Luka is very talented in statistics and machine learning. Great communication skills, he's ready to go extra mile and explain things. He was willing to modify parts of code to make it easier run in R Studio. Overall very good experience with Luka!" — Alex (investor) |
