Mahesh Divakaran

Hi, I'm Mahesh!

I'm a data scientist and statistical programmer with close to a decade of experience at the intersection of statistics, software engineering, and clinical research. I build R packages, automate clinical pipelines (SDTM, ADaM, TFL), develop interactive R Shiny dashboards, and have presented my research at international PHUSE conferences in the US and EU.

I'm currently a Senior Statistical Programmer at IQVIA and a PhD candidate in Statistics at Amity University. I'm also a volunteer with the CDISC Open-Source Alliance (COSA) and a life member of the Indian Society for Probability and Statistics.
