I created and developed code in Python and Java to extract clinically relevant information from structured data and unstructured notes. I wrote code using R to evaluate accuracy, precision, and recall of results generated by the pipeline. I frequently tested and implemented new Machine Learning or Natural Language Processing algorithms. I design and create databases in MySQL and AWS Redshift to represent and store the data. Collaboration with multiple teams and organizations on project objectives, status, and performance is important and necessary. I document and track changes of releases with Confluence, Jira, and Git. I lead team meetings with emphasis on code review, weekly sprint goals, and project status updates

At Santa Cruz Biotechnology I regularly maintain relational databases with NGS data. I am responsible for storage of all the fasta nucleotide and protein files. All relevant gene information is kept with the most updated NCBI accession version. I have also created many different programs in Python to analyze this NGS data and products the company produces. One program looks at the protein antibody sequences for cross species reactivity with a BLAST search. Another Python program I use to create new siRNA products as well as primers. It is able to look at the nucleotide fasta sequences and identify using multiple algorithms the most optimal locations to create our products at. The program is also able to look at custom fasta sequences from our customers to determine if we can create a specialized products unique to their needs. My responsibilities also include working with HDR nucleotide sequences for our Crispr products. With these products I use the track visualization abilities from NCBI to show location and exon specificity to customers.

While working at the North Carolina Research Campus I designed, created, tested, and implemented code for statistical analysis in R and Java. I used R packages for graphic visualization and Qualitative Threshold clustering of known metabolites. These known metabolites were pulled from KEGG, NIST, HMDB, and PubChem and stored in a relational database. After this part of the project was completed I then collaborated with graduate students to match unknown metabolites from LC-MS data to our database with Java.

During my graduate studies at the University of North Carolina Charlotte I was able to come back my second year as a Teacher’s Assistant for the graduate level genomics class. I was responsible for the lab portion of the class to help students analyze different NGS data that they went over in class. In the class they worked with IonTorrent and Illumina NGS data. I helped the students go through various bioinformatics pipelines similar to the differential gene expression project I listed above. Other projects included examining genomic data from fastq files all the way to vcf files.

While at the University of North Carolina Charlotte I worked on a team project that examined NGS Illumina fastq data from the bacteria Vibrio Vulnificus. One part of the project Involved examining the fastq RNA data. We used Trimmomatic for quality filtering and SAMtools to map the reads to a reference genome. From there we took the BAM files and used R to look at differential gene expression. We specifically used the edgeR and DEseq2 bioconductor packages for analysis. The second part of the project involved looking at the fastq DNA genomic sequences. We tested different pipelines and parameters for contig assembly. From the generated contigs we used InterScanPro 5 annotation in order to assign Gene Ontology terms. We then analyzed the different assemblies to see which pipeline gave us the most complete and relevant GO term annotations.

I was responsible for Quality Analysis on the metal powder samples produced form the foundry. We use ICP-OES to determine the chemical composition with LECO machines to determine combustimetrics. We ran the chemical analysis on products according to ISO and ASTM qualifications and certified the chemical components to be shipped through SAP.
