Eli is a Senior Data Scientist at Synergia, where he leads data analytics across programmes spanning IPMHA services, palliative care, emergency departments, and urgent care systems. Much of his role is as a data mediator — working closely with dozens of health service providers across independent organisations to standardise raw, inconsistent data into clean pipelines that produce interactive, provider-specific outputs for both providers and Health NZ.
His technical work centres on R's tidyverse ecosystem, with growing fluency in SQL and Python. He builds polished visualisations, interactive Shiny dashboards, and parameterised Quarto reports, and maintains the semi-automated data pipelines behind them. Eli co-leads Synergia's adoption of Snowflake and its broader data governance and cloud infrastructure, and is migrating the team's AI-assisted coding capabilities inside Snowflake's governed boundaries.
Eli holds a Bachelor of Health Sciences (Honours) with First Class Honours from the University of Auckland, where he also taught postgraduate health statistics. He has published two peer-reviewed studies as lead author examining demographic factors and dietary greenhouse gas emissions, and was invited to present his research as a plenary session at the Joint Conference of the Nutrition Societies of New Zealand and Australia.
