Cross-Domain Bioinformatician & Technical Project Manager | Data Analysis · Scientific Workflows · R&D Consulting

Profile Summary

I’m a bioinformatician with a strong foundation in Python, R, data analysis, metabolic modeling, and scientific computing—but my work goes far beyond classical research. I’ve founded companies, built full-stack software, managed R&D processes, designed internal tools, and developed cloud/self-hosted infrastructures. My strength is integrating multiple domains: biology, software, systems thinking, and human-centered insight. I learn quickly, adapt intuitively to new technical environments, and can take ownership of complex tasks without needing extensive onboarding or formal certification. What I can deliver for clients: - Biological data analysis (immunology, metabolic models, systems biology) - Python/R pipelines, automation, and reproducible workflows (Docker, CI/CD) - Machine learning and statistical modeling for research datasets - Scientific software, scripts, APIs, and full-stack components (React, JS) - Cloud deployment and self-hosted systems - Research coordination, project management, and startup-level strategy - Structured thinking, clear communication, and pragmatic execution - Cross-disciplinary problem solving and bridging ambiguous or multi-functional challenges I help clients who need analytical rigor, fast execution, and reliable delivery across scientific, technical, and strategic domains. Whether it’s research, data analysis, ML workflows, or consulting on complex projects, I provide solutions that integrate both detail-oriented execution and higher-order thinking.
