I build quantitative systems that hold up when decisions matter.

I take complex problems from raw data through modelling, validation and delivery — turning uncertainty into evidence you can act on.

Selected quantitative work

Different domains. The same standard of evidence.

End-to-end work spanning data collection, modelling, validation and decision-ready delivery.

Sports · Probabilistic forecasting

Forecasting future sporting events

Built forecasting systems across football, golf and the NFL, combining domain-specific data with probabilistic models and genuine out-of-sample validation.

MARKET BENCHMARKED
Calibration, log loss and Brier scores used to test whether the probabilities genuinely hold up.

Healthcare · Bayesian modelling

Identifying hidden risk in cancer waiting times

Modelled breach risk across cancer types and NHS trusts, separating persistent underperformance from natural variation while making uncertainty explicit.

Trading · Quantitative infrastructure

Building a quantitative trading function

Connected centralised data, statistical research, model monitoring and automated executive reporting inside a high-pressure trading operation.

Core capabilities

From uncertain data to a decision-ready system.

I work across the full quantitative lifecycle rather than treating the model as an isolated deliverable.

Probabilistic modelling

Quantify what is likely — and what remains uncertain.

Models designed around the decision, domain and cost of being wrong.

Bayesian hierarchical modelling
Forecasting and time series
Monte Carlo simulation
Pricing, risk and margin analysis
Statistics built for real decisions.
Validation and decision support

Test whether the result can genuinely be trusted.

Performance is measured honestly before technical output becomes organisational confidence.

Out-of-sample evaluation
Calibration and proper scoring rules
Posterior predictive validation
Decision-ready dashboards and reporting
Evidence before confidence.
Data infrastructure

Build the foundations that make reliable analysis possible.

Connected workflows that move cleanly from raw data through analysis to delivery.

Data collection and API integration
SQL data models and pipelines
Automation and reproducible workflows
Power BI and interactive applications
Built for use, not isolation.

About

Donovan Robertson

Quantitative Analyst · MSc Statistics

I am drawn to problems where the answer is uncertain and the right approach is not immediately obvious. Whether forecasting sporting events, identifying healthcare risk or improving an operational process, I enjoy learning the domain, challenging assumptions and testing whether the result can genuinely be trusted.

At Sports Information Services, I built quantitative infrastructure across centralised data, statistical research, model monitoring and executive reporting. My analysis contributed to a 10% profit-margin increase for the company’s largest B2B client, earning me a Star Performer rating and promotion.

How I work

The principles behind every piece of work.

Rigour is valuable only when it leads to a clearer decision.

01

Honest uncertainty

Calibrated probabilities, appropriate validation and clarity about what the evidence does and does not support.

02

Reproducible systems

Structured data, versioned models and repeatable workflows designed to be understood, tested and improved.

03

Clear decision support

Technical findings translated into practical outputs that stakeholders can understand, challenge and act on.
