Leveraged python and pandas to perform data extraction, manipulation, and processing on multiple/varied sequence data sets.Wrote python program to derive biological function from Principal Components Analysis (PCA) results.Conducted PCA on output of bulk, multi-experiment meta-analyses using in-house R programs, and visualized with JMP statistical software.Using the Common Workflow Language, designed and developed pipelines to process raw sequencing data into counts of genes for downstream analysis.Deployed workflows on an experiment-wide, per-sample basis, using the Jenkins task scheduler and Amazon Web Services compute.

Worked directly with the Algorithms team on engineering process improvements, and development/deployment of product into production software and commissioned projects.Applied programming skills in an Agile development environment to explore, analyze, and interpret large volumes of structured and unstructured data.Utilized predictive modeling and statistical analysis to determine analytical approaches and evaluate scenarios and future outcomes (forecasting).Generated insights connecting analytical results with business problems and/or objectives.Leveraged the Common Workflow Language to construct data processing pipelines, from preprocessing to forecasting.

Worked in a team with other student employees to help maintain the Linux, Mac and Windows workstation environment for faculty, staff, and student computer labs.Involved in the deployment and troubleshooting of hardware and software for faculty and research staff throughout multiple disciplines on campus.Responsible for mentoring technicians both in technical and customer-service related skills and abilities.
