As a dedicated Data Scientist, my journey has been an exploration of transforming complex datasets into actionable insights. I've honed my skills to specialize in bioinformatics, leveraging my expertise to uncover the hidden patterns and knowledge within genomics data.In my current role as a Bioinformatics Analyst, I've been entrusted with the responsibility of processing and analyzing whole-genome stem cell sequences across diverse datasets. My work spans data processing, quality control, alignment, and developing automated pipelines, all while utilizing high-performance computing (HPC) platforms. I'm dedicated to driving innovation and problem-solving within the realm of epigenetics research.I have an unmatched ability to bridge the gap between cutting-edge research and practical application. By leading and training high-performing teams of researchers in computational bioinformatics, I help create impactful results across two laboratories. My work has also extended beyond the lab, where I've been published in peer-reviewed studies, contributing to our understanding of soybean cyst nematode interactions and bacterial protein-protein interactions.My academic journey has been equally dynamic, culminating in a Master of Applied Science in Biomedical Engineering with a specialization in Data Science. My thesis, "Assessing and Improving Protein-Protein Interaction Prediction in E. coli," underscores my interest in pushing the boundaries of knowledge in the field.With a Bachelor of Information Technology in Photonics and Laser Technology, I've consistently strived for excellence, earning the sole University Medal for outstanding graduate work in the Information Technology faculty.SKILLS & TOOLS► Programming Languages: Python, R, Bash/Shell, C/C++, Torch, Lua► Machine Learning: Pandas, NumPy, Scikit-Learn, TensorFlow, Matplotlib, REST API► Bioinformatics: FastQC, Cutadapt, Picard, Samtools, deepTools, Bowtie2, Hisat2, MACS, SEACR, featureCounts, DESeq2, edgeR, DiffBind, HOMER, MEME Suite, clusterProfiler, ChIPseeker, Scanpy► Operating Systems: Linux, Windows, macOSTECHNOLOGIES► Next-generation sequencing (NGS): RNA-Seq, ATAC-Seq, ChIP-Seq, CUT&Tag, single-cell sequencing► High Performance Computing (HPC) ► Containerization using Apptainer► Laser-Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy (LIBS)► Optical Transport Network (OTN)I'm excited to collaborate, innovate, and contribute to the ever-evolving landscape of data science and bioinformatics.
