Creating algorithms and applications for high-throughput bioinformatics

Structure-based predictions of chemical properties and biological activity of compounds.

IPTV software design and development. I was mainly responsible for the client-side software, a cross-platform application written in C++.

Researched pathway prediction techniques, while leading the technical design and development of the Pathway Analyst (Path-A) web-based application. In addition, I administered all Path-A systems (PostgreSQL DB, Apache web server, and application servers) and co-wrote an article on Path-A that was published in the journal Nucl. Acids Res.

While at MIRARCO, I worked on software for the optimization of stope extraction sequences, based on my B.Sc. thesis work. I also developed data visualization software for MIRARCO’s virtual reality laboratory and for geological rock fracture analysis.
