Vikas R.
Research Psychologist/Psychometrician
Research Psychologist & Psychometrician who turns fuzzy questions into clean, defensible data. I've designed and run a controlled study with 350+ participants — so I know what makes survey and assessment work hold up to scrutiny, not just look good in a slide. I help startups, research teams, and wellness companies: Design & validate surveys and psychometric scales — proper item-writing, reliability, and validity, not guesswork Plan rigorous studies — experimental, pre/post, and mixed-methods research that survives review Analyze your data — SPSS & R, from cleaning to clear statistical interpretation a non-specialist can act on Spec assessment & wellness tools — define the constructs, scoring logic, and data requirements behind your app or platform Write evidence-based mental-health content — psychoeducation and programs grounded in the research I work end-to-end or plug into one phase of your project. Quietly thorough, clearly documented, on time. Tell me what you're building — I'll give you an honest read on whether I'm the right fit before you hire.
