Professional Summary
I am a Bioinformatician with a PhD from UC Riverside (Dr. Jason Stajich Lab), specializing in the intersection of software
development and large-scale genomics. My work focuses on building efficient UNIX/Python tools for genomics and metagenomics
applications. I bring a unique perspective to the dry lab, having spent my early career at the bench mastering protein
purification and molecular biology. I am passionate about creating user-friendly, scalable tools that empower researchers to
turn raw sequencing data into biological discovery.
