Tulsa, Oklahoma Area

Master’s degree in Computer Science with research focus in Bioinformatics, sponsored by NIHDeveloped and used genetic analyses algorithms in Java, Python, MATLAB, R, C/C++. Software used include PLINK, GeneGO, ReactomeFI, Cytoscape, Prefuse, BLAST, Chimera, Bioconductor, Entrez Utilities etc...Created a JavaFX Graphical User Interface, EncoreGUI, that controls the Encore framework, which is a tool-set written in C++ for analysis of Genome-Wide Association Studies. Also includes HTML and JavaScript components, with d3 as the visualization libraryCreated a web based network visualization tool called EnViz to explore epistasis networks, which has been incorporated into a custom Galaxy platformDeveloped scripts to parse large genetic data into compatible formatsUsed OU and PSC supercomputing resources for researchRan batch jobs of genetic analysis algorithms to utilize the parallel processing power of clustersUsed edgeR analysis for differential expression on RNA-seq dataReviewer in the Journal of Bioinformatics

Used CUDA (a parallel processing architecture developed for Nvidia GPUs) on existing algorithms to accelerate analysis.

Weatherford, Ok

Created a simple Beowulf cluster using open-source toolsHardware: Seven 32-bit Computing Nodes, including the Head NodeDeployed images using Systemimager through gPXE booting of clients and created SSH loginsInstalled MAUI as the message parsing interface and Torque as the Job SchedulerLinux distributions tested include openSuse, Fedora, Debian and UbuntuOther tools studied include OSCAR and ROCKS (which facilitate deployment of Linux clusters)
