An RA working in the Merriman/Black lab in the Department of Biochemistry at the University of Otago. I have no formal training or knowledge of Bioinformatics, statistics or biology. Despite this I was in charge of maintaining a range of bioinformatics tools and their integration with a web-application for genomic analysis called Galaxy.This has been an interesting task as I orignally had no knowledge of many of the scientific fields that were required of me. This forced me to learn a range of new ideas and methodologies and has vastly improved my researching ability. For this job I mainly used Galaxy which is an open-source application developed by MIT and Emory University. I actively contributed patches and new functionality as well as communicated on the Galaxy development mailing list on a regular basis.

This was working for Disability and Information Services. A branch of the university that manages tutors working with students with a disability.

We were mainly working on an existing web application capital maintenance. It was developed on PHP several years earlier. Our task was to fix all existing issues, update the front end design and implemented new and incomplete features.
