Transfer requirements into automated scripts across multiple Secondary Data Analysis workflow technologies Work in a fast-paced agile scrum teams to understand requirements and develop test plans, test cases, and verification documentsIntegrate and validate internal framework and tools written in Python and C# to help with efforts usually done with manual testing when examining analysis outputs such as FASTQs, BAMs, VCFs, and other reports. Save tens of hours that are usually taken to run regression testsDerive measurable metrics via performance testing of analysis pipelines in development in order toestablish passing criteria for end-to-end runtime on-instrumentExperience on clinical and research sequencing platforms - verified multiple analysis workflows to ensure Secondary Analysis data integrity and compliance to standards. This involves risk-based strategizing and timeline management as more than 1500 test cases in a suite need to be executed and documented according to the Software Development Life Cycle process. Each platform includes hands-on testing on control software and on-instrument analysisWork in a process-oriented environment that ensures good documentation around test protocols, plans, software configuration management, reports, and developer release notes is practicedParticipate in audits as gatherer and deliverer of documents in question

Added software features dependent on the lab's epidermal electronics to Brain Computer Interface (BCI) - a mind machine that is a direct pathway from the mind to an external deviceCollected knowledge on biological occurrences correlated with EEG testing and electrical stimuli to the brain via innovative medium of information connectionBuilt and analyzed classifier systems derived from Bayesian and K-Nearest Neighbor models in tandem with algorithm extracting features from images. An Android application was then responsible for the associated data collection and transmission to a server.

Enhanced and updated templates for Logical, Layer 1, Layer 2, and Layer 3 diagrams. Then developed a centralized repository for storing draft and final Network Reference Documentation. Finally, enhanced and tested the current Network Reference Documentation Q/A process to make ensure reproducibility and reliability. Achieving this helped create efficiency with troubleshooting, provide key information when planning for proposed IT solutions, and eased working with people of variable skill-sets in a global environment. Subnetted IP addresses using IPAM (tool that manages global IP address database) according to preexisting IP standards. Then set up access control for the different IP address infrastructure groups.Converted 44 macros in Excel [using VBA] down to 2 macros in order to increase efficiency when producing monthly MPLS Utilization Reports. Analyzed and validated the existing global network equipment using the maintenance support contracts in order to prevent excess expenditure. Cleaned up the existing net portal in order to promote a better understanding of what the global networking team does and is capable of doing to not only the team, but also any other end user. Linked links, documents, tools, user guides, training videos, etcetera to the portal.
