I provide programming solutions for the Center for Integrated Fungal Research at NC State University. My daily tasks involve maintenance and upkeep on the Mobyle Snap Workbench, a bioinformatics web portal used worldwide. I write both frontend (XML) pages and backed (Python) scripts for users. I also write scripts in Bash when needed. I regularly update and administrate the CentOS 7 server which hosts the portal, installing updates and keeping things running smoothly.

My daily tasks involve maintenance and upkeep on the Mobyle Snap Workbench, a bioinformatics web portal used worldwide. I write both frontend (XML) pages and backed (Python) scripts for users. I also write scripts in Bash when needed. I regularly update and administrate the CentOS 7 server which hosts the portal, installing updates and keeping things running smoothly. Currently spearheading an initiative to transition to Galaxy, an open-source, web-based platform for data intensive bioinformatics research. This involves installing and configuring the software, customizing it for use by the research team, and transitioning the current Mobyle toolset over to Galaxy. Show less
