Dedicated to excellence in every project I undertake
Iām a cofounder of an immune biology startup in the Bay Area (currently in stealth). My background is in molecular biology, computational biology, and the study of evolutionary innovations that can be translated into new therapeutic and biotechnological opportunities.
I build scalable Python-based pipelines and apply machine learning to turn complex biological data into actionable hypotheses. My work spans high-throughput genomics and transcriptomics, large-scale data integration, plant metabolic engineering, and microbiome science ā with publications in top-tier journals including Nature Microbiology.
Outside of work, I enjoy foraging, rock climbing, and doting on my two house rabbits.
Core competencies that drive my professional practice
Short- and long-read sequencing, library preparation, genomics/transcriptomics analysis
Python/R, data mining & visualization, workflow automation with Snakemake
DNA/RNA extraction, PCR, cloning, transformation, Western & Northern blotting
AWS cloud computing, version control with GitHub, machine learning applications
