About me
My background is in molecular biology and bioinformatics, specializing in genome informatics and genetic screening (PGT / PGS) applications. I have worked on bioinformatic projects in academic and commercial settings. As a bioinformatics consultant I am now available for remote freelance project work. I can work alongside your team of lab scientists or software developers but I can also plan and execute your projects independently.
Previous employment work included:
- Development and application of a world-leading genome annotation pipeline in a bioinformatics team (Ensembl at the Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute, mostly Perl, some Java)
- Infrastructure development and data management as part of a large international collaboration (ENCODE, mostly Perl)
- Development of genomic testing applications for in-vitro diagnostics in IVF (PGT-A / chromosomal screening with BlueFuse Multi, BlueGnome Ldt. & Illumina, Perl, MatLab, Python, C++)
Recent bioinformatics consulting work focused on sequencing data analysis, custom pipeline development and algorithm development.
Most projects required design, prototyping and testing phases. Some were executed to ISO 13485 (medical devices) standard. Writing good documentation for software and projects as well as peer-reviewed scientific publications is something I consider important and enjoyable. Helping customers to use my software and develop new ideas with them is a main driver for me.
