Developing data access and computational infrastructure for identifying novel plant-based compounds

Data and software engineer for AAV engineering team. - Data analysis pipelines and storage infrastructure- AAV sequence data analysis- Back-end and front-end (ReactJS) software development

Computational research of relationship between soil metagenome and soil health. - worked with workflows, e.g. nextflow and custom workflow frameworks- metegenomics sequence processing and statistical analysis- quality control and benchmarking related to metagenomics data analysis

After the merger of Radiant Genomics and Zymergen, I was responsible for integrating the data and data-analysis pipelines between the two companies.

Computational framework for natural product discovery. I organized sequence data, analysis pipelines, and developed visualization methods for identifying novel enzymes and gene clusters from soil bacterial DNA. - DNA Sequence QC, assembly, super-contigs - NGS data analysis pipeline using AWS cloud and Docker- Custom front end interactive data visualization using ReactJS and D3- Back end (Node.js) and cloud infrastructure for highly parallel data analysis

Autodesk BioNano group was building CAD for Life ScienceI was an independent researcher, software developer, and team leader for a variety of projects, involving visualization methods, biological experiments, and numerical analyses.- Frontend and Backend web application development (HTML5, Canvas, Node.js, Docker)- Architected and programmed cloud computation back-end (AWS, Python)- Metagenomics bioinformatics pipeline that uses external sequencing (NGS) services- Primer design and related bioinformatics

My research goal was to identify competition between viruses using florescence microscopy and image analysis - Cloning, PCR, rtPCR, and other conventional molecular biology methods- Lambda Red-based Recombineering- Single-cell imaging & image analysis- Stochastic simulation

Worked under Dr. Herbert Sauro. Topics include:- simulated evolution- metabolic control theory (e.g. flux balance)- computational analysis of biological networks- standards for synthetic biology- software tools for synthetic biology (www.tinkercell.com)

TinkerCell integration with Autodesk Maya for simulating dynamics of cellular colonies.

Worked with Dr. Ming-Ying Leung to study replication of Herpesvirus using bioinformatics and machine learning methods.

Worked in the lab of Dr.Suresh Subramani to uncover mechanisms related to peroxisomal degradation using bioinformatics methods.

Taught computer science I and II to 2nd, 3rd, and 4th year high school students. Most of the assignments involved programming games, covering recursive algorithms, path finding, and object oriented design.
