Profile Summary

I’m a microbiome and bioinformatics expert with 10+ years of experience in metagenomics, machine learning in microbial ecology, and NGS workflow development (ONT MinION, 16S/shotgun). I’ve set up DNA sequencing labs, developed probiotic-based personalized health tools, and co-authored 6 research publications and 1 international patent. I now offer remote consulting for companies or academic teams needing domain expertise in microbiome R&D, bioinformatics workflows, or strategic scientific content development.
