Biography

I develop new bioinformatics applications for our platform. This means learning about the underlying biology and computational methods for a particular application, writing the algorithmic code in a mixture of Python and R, building a user interface, and then wrapping it up into a self-contained Genestack application that is deployed on our public instance, and given to clients. Over the last few weeks I’ve: built a prototype framework to speed up app development, learnt how to use Sketch for UI mockups and implemented a new transcript quantification algorithm.
