Automation-focused developer building end-to-end data pipelines and real-time systems that replace manual workflows.
What I'm looking for
I’m an automation-focused developer who builds end-to-end data pipelines, real-time applications, and internal tools that replace manual workflows with reliable, maintainable software. My approach blends clean architecture with practical problem-solving to turn complex data into usable products.
Most recently, I worked as an Automation Engineer (Contract) building an automated reporting pipeline that reduced report generation from ~45 minutes to ~30 seconds. I developed a Selenium/Chrome web scraper, containerized it with Docker, deployed it on AWS ECS Fargate, and provisioned supporting services with Terraform (Lambda, API Gateway, S3, Secrets Manager). I also designed an asynchronous job architecture and set up GitHub Actions CI/CD for Docker builds, Lambda deploys, and frontend publishing.
Earlier, I supported computational biology work by developing Python-based RNA-sequence analysis pipelines from raw sequencing data through differential expression and functional annotation (including DESeq2 workflows). I’ve also built real-time market data pipeline concepts with statistical modeling and visualization using JavaScript/CSS, and I’m actively developing an Unreal Engine 5 (C++) strategy game with procedural planet generation and multi-faction AI.

Workflow Automation Developer
Northwest Exotic Pet Vet
Oct 2025 - Present (6 months)
Built custom automation infrastructure for a veterinary clinic, replacing manual clinical workflows with an automated reporting pipeline. Reduced report generation time from ~45 minutes to ~30 seconds and deployed an end-to-end scraper-driven pipeline on AWS using Docker, Terraform, and serverless services.
Research Intern
SENS Research Foundation
Jun 2022 - Sep 2022 (3 months)
Conducted independent cell biology research designing and executing multi-assay pipelines to detect cellular senescence and evaluate targeted drug delivery. Performed dose-response profiling across a compound library, generating structured datasets for comparative analysis and presenting results to scientific audiences.
Research Assistant
Hendrix Lab
Jan 2021 - Jun 2022 (1 year 5 months)
Developed Python-based bioinformatics pipelines for RNA-seq analysis, from transcript quantification through differential expression and functional annotation. Built DESeq2-driven workflows to generate gene expression count matrices, visualizations, and annotation outputs supporting published research on blue-light exposure in Drosophila melanogaster.
Research Assistant
Hendrix Lab, Oregon State University
Jan 2021 - Jun 2022 (1 year 5 months)
Developed Python-based RNA-seq data pipelines from raw sequencing data through differential expression and functional annotation. Automated transcript quantification workflows with DESeq2 and produced visualizations to identify differentially expressed gene clusters.
