Bioinformatics Scientist | Pipeline Engineer | Nextflow Ambassador

Bioinformatics scientist with five years of industry experience in gene therapy at BridgeBio, where I built computational genetics workflows, ran nf-core pipelines on Seqera Platform, and developed R Shiny dashboards for experimental decision support. Now completing an MS in Bioinformatics at Northeastern University (expected 2027), contributing to nf-core as both an Ambassador and active module developer.

Background

• MS Bioinformatics, Northeastern University (expected 2027) — Omics concentration
• MS Physiology, North Carolina State University
• BS Biological Sciences, North Carolina State University
• 5+ years of industry experience in gene therapy and upstream bioprocess

Skills & Expertise

• Pipeline development: Nextflow, nf-core, Seqera Platform, Docker/Podman
• Languages: Python (OOP), R, Bash
• Analysis: RNA-seq, Differential Abundance, Gene Ontology, Functional Enrichment
• Infrastructure: AWS, Slurm, GitHub Actions
• Domain: AAV gene therapy, bioreactor upstream process, ddPCR

Current Work

• Nextflow Ambassador — authoring community content and hosting workshops
• nf-core contributor — built the DIAMOND blastp subworkflow for nf-core/proteinannotator, enabling protein homology search against the full NCBI RefSeq database at scale
• MS Bioinformatics candidate, Northeastern University
