Bioinformatician & Data Scientist | 6+ years in ML pipelines, including multi-omics and clinical data research

Profile Summary

I'm a bioinformatician and biostatistician with a PhD in Experimental Medicine (UBC) and six years of building and validating computational pipelines for genomics and multi-omics research. My core strength is taking raw sequencing or multi-omics data and turning it into presentable results. I've built variant-calling pipelines (FASTA to BAM to VCF) that genotyped 700+ neonates and validated the models in an independent international cohort, and processed 1,300+ raw FASTQ files through QC and transcript quantification for a long-COVID biobank study.

I work across R, Python, and Bash on HPC (Slurm) and AWS, and I'm comfortable with the full stack from pipeline engineering to statistical modelling (mixOmics/DIABLO, penalized regression, differential expression) to the figures and summaries that make results usable for non-technical stakeholders. My work includes high-dimensional molecular data (genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics (including Olink panels), metabolomics, epigenetics) and clinical data (vaccine response, sickle-cell trait, Acute Rheumatic Fever, Heart and Lung Transplant Rejection, COVID & long-COVID outcomes)

I'm a good fit if you need a pipeline built from scratch, an existing one debugged or validated, a dataset taken from raw files to analysis-ready output, or multi-omics data integrated into a single model. I'm upfront if something's outside my depth rather than overpromising, and I document work well enough that your team can pick it up after I'm done.
