PhD Scientist & Developer | Automating Biotech R&D with Python & Streamlit | Data Solutions

Profile Summary

I am a PhD Scientist turned Developer, specializing in bridging the gap between the wet lab and computational analysis. Unlike generalist data scientists, I understand the biological context of your data, whether it's genomic sequences, physiological signals (EEG/EMG), or industrial fermentation parameters. My focus is on building custom software tools that automate complex analysis, reduce human error, and visualize results instantly. CORE EXPERTISE: Scientific App Development: Building interactive web apps (Streamlit) that allow R&D teams to explore data and run models without coding. Lab Automation Pipelines: Processing large datasets from sensors (NIR, Mass Spec) and reducing manual analysis time by 90%. Machine Learning: Predictive modeling for biological, nutritional, and industrial outcomes. CASE STUDIES: AgTech/Biotech (Project HERMES): Developed a Machine Learning system to predict and optimize insect protein composition for a startup. Deployed as a secure web app for decision-making. Physiology/Neuroscience: Created automated Python pipelines for apnea detection in rodent respiratory signals (EEG/EMG), replacing hours of manual scoring with minutes of automated processing. TECH STACK: Python (Pandas, NumPy, Scikit-learn), Streamlit, BioPython. I am available for remote, asynchronous projects involving data analysis, Python scripting, and custom R&D software tools.
