NGS · Bioinformatics · Microbial ecology
NGS scientist and computational biologist. I turn samples into sequence, and sequence into insight — ten years across the bench and the pipeline, from Illumina library prep to reproducible cloud workflows.
Most people in sequencing sit on one side of the glass — either the wet lab or the analysis. I've spent a decade on both. That means I design experiments knowing how the data will be processed, and I build pipelines knowing exactly how the reads were made.
My work runs from amplicon, exome, and whole-genome library prep on Illumina, MGI, and Nanopore platforms through to metabarcoding, diversity analysis, and machine learning on HPC and cloud infrastructure — now focused on microbial ecology as a PhD student at the University of Toledo.
An interactive workbench for metabarcoding data — diversity metrics, ordination, and taxa distribution without writing a line of code. Built for researchers who need results, not a console.
Open the appA browser-based R classroom for biology undergraduates. Runs R entirely in the browser through webR — no installs, no setup — so students learn to code with their own data from the first session.
Open the platformA containerized biodiversity explorer over GBIF occurrence data, served from Google Cloud Run — from R script to a scalable hosted service.
Open the appBrings 400+ language models into the R console through OpenRouter, so analysts can get coding assistance without leaving their environment.
View on GitHubA lab assistant that reads a protocol, extracts the materials it calls for, and assembles a vendor-linked ordering list — turning a chore into a click.
Open the appA reference implementation for running metabarcoding workflows on AWS — compute, storage, and access control provisioned for scalable bioinformatics.
