Profile Summary

I am a Senior Data Analyst/Bioinformatician with experience of working with several data-types - including but not limited to biomedical, financial, sports. I have recently published a work in which I have co-designed and built a machine-learning tool for discovering the components of signalling pathways from genomic datasets. Although my expertise lies in Healthcare, the skills I gained are highly transferable and can be applied to other fields of study. For example, I am highly skilled in databases, data mining, manipulation, cleaning, visualisation, and processing. I have experience in developing code for data processing using Python and R. Proficiency in Unix shell scripting and working with Unix/Linux computing environment and development of software using Python. Moreover, I have experience in machine learning algorithms with the understanding of Linear Regression, Logistic Regression, kNN and Autoencoder approaches.
