Mitchell Palmer
Data Analyst
With a background in science, psychology, and the outdoor/adventure-tourism industry, I’m passionate about combining data with human understanding to uncover meaningful insights and solve real-world problems.
My work in fast-paced, dynamic environments spans geospatial machine learning, inventory and logistics optimisation, e-commerce growth, marketing analytics and customer-experience design. Whether managing multimillion-dollar supply chains, automating scheduling systems, or discovering new trends, I build tools and interrogate data to inform decisions that are as impactful as the people and places they serve.About Me
Hey there,
I’m Mitchell, an early-career data scientist with foundations in logistics, e-commerce, and sustainability-focused operations. I pair rigorous analysis with human-centred thinking to turn messy data into clear decisions.
My path runs from laboratory work to inventory forecasting, growing e-commerce platforms, coordinating global freight, launching carbon-neutral initiatives, and redesigning internal processes for efficiency. I care about building systems and dashboards that teams actually use.
Working inside small, fast-moving organisations, I’ve seen how data guides strategy, reduces complexity, and unlocks growth. With a background in psychology and years in hospitality, I understand how people interpret information. Skills that translate directly to analysis and communication. I investigate problems, identify broken processes, and prototype models that reveal what matters.
I’m currently sharpening Python, SQL, and statistics through hands-on projects, certificates, and a data-science diploma, combining technical skills with creativity from my interests in philosophy, outdoor sport, and photography.
When I’m not immersed in data, you’ll find me on a trail, in the ocean, behind a camera, or reading about how we can better connect technology, people, and the natural world.
