Hi, I’m Will.
I’m an independent Environmental Data Scientist operating through my consultancy, Gaiametric.
I partner with environmental organizations, research institutions, land managers and more to turn complex ecological data into clear, high-impact technical solutions.
In my 9 years in this space I’ve engineered data pipelines for multi-million pound infrastructure projects, developed new tools and techniques for biodiversity monitoring and scalable spatial analysis and conducted cutting edge research into everything from LiDAR and accelerometers to eDNA and ecological modelling.
I hold an MSc in Environmental Data Science and Machine Learning (Imperial College London) and a BSc in Environmental Science (Northumbria University).
More importantly, I am incredibly passionate about what I do and about making a positive impact on the natural world. My approach is friendly, honest and highly flexible so please reach out if you’d like to have a no-obligation chat about working together.
How I Work
It starts with listening
Every project begins with a conversation. I want to properly understand your challenge before jumping to solutions.
A proposal that fits
I'll take time to think through different approaches and come back with a clear proposal tailored to your needs. There's no cost or commitment at this stage.
Transparent pricing
I quote a fixed price upfront and stick to it. No surprises.
Clear communication throughout
Once we're underway, I'll set up a dedicated Slack channel for your project. You'll get regular updates, and I'm always available for questions.
Work I'm proud of
I genuinely care about what I deliver. My approach is honest and friendly, and I won't consider a project finished until I'm genuinely proud of the result.
Why Gaiametric?

You work directly with me throughout your project – the person scoping the work is the same person delivering it.

This is my specialism, not one service among many – it's all I do, and I love doing it well.
Senior expertise, leaner costs
No layers of management means your budget goes into the work itself.
