Bioinformatician & Data Scientist | Expert in R & Shiny | Trained scientist with 7+ years experience in data analysis

Profile Summary

I spent 5+ years as a research scientist at Argonne National Lab, where I implemented R and Python for data wrangling and analytical methods for a myriad of projects ranging from genetic engineering to machine learning for industry partners. I received my MSc in environmental research where I heavily focused on multivariate modeling techniques using R. Lastly, I’ve transitioned to a bioinformatics role at University of Chicago where I process genomic data for a core facility as well as collaborate with researchers on relevant projects (clinical studies and bioinformatic-focused analyses).
