Simon Ward

Scientific software developer with a background in physics and a passion for data analysis. I’m originally from London and based in Copenhagen since 2018. With over a decade of experience, I bring my passion in physics and software development for changing the world around us and making the revelations accessible to both researchers and the public alike through intuitive UIs and engaging presentations.

I’ve been lucky to work on projects implementing front-end, back-end and high performance computing for a variety of physical systems and deploying them to operational facilities. I enjoy finding elegant solutions to complex problems and leading development teams by example.

I’m currently working as Lead Software Developer at Novo Nordisk - Research and Early Developemnt, tackling the challenges of bringing lab operations into the 21st centuary with digitization, advanced automation and software tools enabling scientists to speedup the drug development pipeline.
