About
I am an experienced, highly motivated technology professional with experience in a variety of research environment technologies and infrastructure on-prem and in the cloud. I have held many roles in leading the delivery of programs and projects in advancing the Informatics & Technology (I&T) capabilities for genomics focused organizations. As a researcher, I have more than 20 years of experience in analyzing "big data” at the molecular, organismal, and ecological scales for environmental, metagenomic and human health data. I use advanced analytical tools and custom scripts in R, Python, MATLAB, UNIX, and SAS to interrogate data sets for meaningful insights. I enjoy speeding up data analysis and discovery implementing test driven development of bioinformatics workflows on HPC and commercial cloud computing resources (AWS and GCP and custom cloud platforms).
