About
As a scientific writer and editor, I have had 12+ years experience in scientific writing and editing as the in-house editor, translator, and molecular biology consultant for BioRealm and Bina Nusantara University. I have applied the writing and editing skills during my graduate study years to co-author and edit numerous grants to funding and manuscripts for publications. I have leveraged my training in linguistics to convey information in writing more efficiently and precisely. As a bench scientist, my most recent experiences (6 years) are on RNA biology and virology. I have an overall 10 years experience in molecular and cellular biology techniques. As a linguist, I currently am a lexical linguist, curating the Indonesian language database for Apple.

About
In the academic area I have done mathematical modeling (cultural diffusion and human visual systems) as an undergraduate. As a graduate student I worked as a consultant to the US government, the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, WGBH radio and television in Boston, a large project at the Harvard School of Education on children and television, and with a number of community organizations associated with the Harvard Medical School on projects related to community health. On these above projects I was the lead statistical analyst and also assisted in designing the research protocols. I am familiar with and competent using the latest data management, statistical analysis, and visualization software in the python programming language, as well as the Jupyter Notebook offshoot that is usable by non-programmers and suitable for publication quality output. After finishing my Ph.D. I was a principal investigator, along with my colleague, at the Harvard Medical school. I was the statistical analyst and hardware/software specialist for designing our experimental and testing protocols for our research into meditation. I still am actively involved in research into meditation and related systems and the effects on practitioners and their communities. I also am involved in the applications of esoteric systems to behavioral health. In the corporate world I have worked with startups, established companies, non- profits, dot-coms, and private scientific groups. I have been a software engineer, designer, and developer either as a contractor or an employee, depending on the circumstances of the project. Details are available in my resume/CV.
