Machine learning in industrial synthetic biology: Developed statistical models, machine learning techniques, and data mining techniques to predict performance of manufacturing strains using diverse biochemical datasets.Collaborated with cross-functional teams to understand project requirements and objectives, design/conduct experiments, and test hypotheses/validate models.Developed statistical tests and custom visualizations to evaluate model performance (Scikit-learn, Plotly) and deployed/evaluated models on Google Cloud Platform (GCP).Data engineering and dashboarding: Led development of interactive dashboard tools for rapid data visualization for cross-functional teams using Business Intelligence software and Python applications.Data literacy and cross-functional communication: Routinely presented modeling results to non-data audiences, including senior leadership, earning buy-in for data-driven initiatives to advance business goals.Directed a course to teach 60 "non-coding" scientists fundamental data technologies (SQL, Python, visualization), of whom 30 went on to developed and presented a computational solution to a pain-point in their domain.
