about
I'm a bioinformatician and software engineer with a PhD in microbiology. I'm interested in incorporating good design into bioinformatics with the aim of building tools that make scientists' lives easier. I enjoy writing everything from the core algorithms, to production pipeline code, to frontend visualizations. Along with bioinformatics expertise, I also have about 15 years at the bench, which allows me to intimately understand the needs of wetlab scientists. Currently I am Bioinformatics Lead at , where I try to integrate these principles.
Previously I did my PhD in the at the University of Texas at Austin. I studied the evolution of engineered plasmids among other topics. Prior to that, I researched in several labs at the Univeristy of Michigan. I studied vibrio/phage dynamics in the , novel antimicrobials in the , and functional bacterial amyloid production in the .
