Welcome! I'm Benjamin Cooper, a Data Quality and Integration Analyst at Arcadia Solutions, deeply committed to leveraging data to enhance healthcare. My driving passion is to untangle the complexities of our healthcare system, ultimately aiming to improve patient outcomes and elevate the quality of care.
To further this mission, I am pursuing a Master of Science in Data Science in Biomedicine (part-time) at UCLA's David Geffen School of Medicine (expected May 2026). This program is sharpening my advanced analytical capabilities for the unique challenges within the biomedical field.
My recent experience as a Healthcare Data Analyst at Boston Children's Hospital (Oct 2023 – Jan 2025) allowed me to directly impact hospital operations. I crafted reports and visualizations to enable data-driven decision-making across departments, supported initiatives promoting inclusivity and addressing health disparities, played a key role in the US News & World Report survey submission, and developed dashboards to track website metrics during the transition from GA4 to Adobe Analytics.
Previously, as a Data Scientist at Cipher Skin (Sep 2020 – Mar 2023), I honed my skills in algorithm development, notably for calculating physiological metrics like heart rate and SpO2 from PPG data for wearable technology. This role also involved designing data structures, developing signal processing software for iOS applications, and creating compelling visualizations and live demos.
My commitment to data-driven solutions extends to my personal projects, showcased in this portfolio. These include a dynamic LLM Chatbot Arena Leaderboard Summary (fetching and displaying real-time data), a comprehensive Productivity Tracker (featuring interactive KPI badges and Chart.js visualizations of task completions), and a physics-based Double Pendulum Simulator. These projects demonstrate my proficiency in Python, data visualization, API integration, and web technologies.
I am always eager to explore new challenges and contribute to projects that sit at the intersection of data science and healthcare innovation. My goal is to continue developing solutions that make a tangible difference in people's lives.
