Current:Responsible for BIOVIA product management, as well as strategy of the following BIOVIA portfolios: Life Science Research, Materials Science and Formulations, Drug Development Lab, Biopharma Manufacturing, and Data Science.2020: BIOVIA WW Cloud Architect, Life and Materials Science Software DevelopmentSoftware development leader for Materials and Life Sciences molecular modeling and simulation software, Pipeline Pilot data flow system, ScienceCloud, cheminformatics, and other research enabling software.

- For BIOVIA brand of Dassault Systèmes - WW Cloud Architect. Projects included overseeing deployment of QUMAS and ONE Lab application suites to BIOVIOA ScienceCloud SaaS- Supported customers using ACAS- Developed informatics strategies for virtual drug development start-ups- Designed and co-developed a structure, lot, and assay data ingestion system for a biotech. This enabled their CRO network to load data with self-serve validation, curation, and resubmission

We are a consulting company that help teams of scientists perform challenging experiments by building or integrating registration, data capture, and analysis software.My personal consulting practice includes organizing new informatics and IT departments and infrastructures, or helping existing informatics groups perform exceptionally. I also design system architectures, manage projects, and lay down foundational code for new systems.

Carlsbad, Ca, Us

• Helped design and create TIGER, the Universal Pathogen Sensor, a revolutionary system that can identify any infectious agent whether known or new to science (www.ibistiger.com).• Created or identified government research business opportunities, and organized from government agencies including DARPA, CDC, NIAID, FBI, and DHS.• Developed TIGER business plan, in collaboration with senior TIGER team.• Developed phase I engineering and design concept for third-generation TIGER instrument.• Designed the Microbial Rosetta Stone Database for the FBI and DHS to support their microbial forensics mission.• Executive officer of parent company, Isis

Carlsbad, Ca, Us

• Hired managers and built informatics team to support all computer systems for a 500-person pharmaceutical company.• Built service team and trained them in approach, problem solving, and flexibility.• Executive officer

Carlsbad, Ca, Us

• Founded Isis bioinformatics department. Developed core databases and bioinformatics tools to enable Isis’ antisense discovery pipeline to increase throughput 100x.• Created universal object-relational model for DNA-like antisense molecules enabling storage and retrieval of over 300,000 molecules incorporating thousands of chemical modifications.• Developed computational biology infrastructure and algorithms to predict RNA structures for small-molecule antibiotic and antiviral drug discovery.

Reston, Va, Us

• Developed combinatorial chemistry synthesis robot with three independent tool-changing platen-motor heads and a variety of custom-designed pipetting and plate manipulation tools.• Invented and built imaging fluorimeter which enabled biotechnology client to measure calcium flux in living cells simultaneously in 384 wells of microtiter plate, where they previously measured one well at a time.• Designed, built, and programmed robotic high-throughput screening system that let the imaging fluorimeter operate 24 hours per day. This required creation of LIMS, scheduling, and analysis software, none of which were commercially available at the time. Two systems were deployed, one of which functioned continuously for over seven years and screened over 2 million compounds.

Reston, Va, Us

• Developed signal processing algorithms and systems-engineering models to analyze various sensor systems and data.• Built prototype and software for an imaging laser radar.

• Managed customer support department during the launch of the video game industry’s first laser-video disk based game, Dragon’s Lair. Kept systems running by quickly building and training opto-electronic servo repair group and training distributors.• Developed optical jigs and techniques to repair first generation laser disk players, which used HeNe tube lasers and five analog servo loops.
