Alessandro here, a biostatistician and software developer currently working at Red Door Analytics in Stockholm, Sweden.
I am also a co-chair of the openstatsware working group and an associate editor for the journal Biostatistics.
Some of my research interests are: statistical simulation, survival analysis, multilevel modelling, joint shared random-effects modelling (e.g. longitudinal-survival), computational statistics, statistical natural history models for breast cancer growth and spread. Lately, I have also been picking up a lot more prediction modelling and causal inference.
I am predominantly an R user, but use a good amount of Stata too. I also like to fiddle around with other languages, such as C++, Python, SQL, and LaTeX, and I can write a good amount of HTML and CSS.
I developed and currently maintain the following R packages available on CRAN:
You will also find a variety of experimental packages and code (with wildly variable maturity levels) here, and on the Red Door Analytics GitHub organisation.
If you want to know more about me, feel free to check out my website at ellessenne.xyz where I sometimes write about statistics, R programming, and other random stuff (tiny computers anyone?). You'll find contact details as well, if you want to get in touch.
