What I'm looking for

I seek a hands-on role in bioinformatics or data science where I can apply genomic analysis and programming skills, work on impactful research, and grow within a collaborative, learning-focused team.

I am an aspiring bioinformatics scientist with a strong foundation in computational biology, programming (Python, R, Java), and data analysis tools such as Pandas and NumPy. I have applied these skills in academic and internship settings to analyze genomic data and build predictive models.

During a dissertation traineeship at ICAR-CRRI, I conducted bioinformatics-driven haplotype analysis of rice blast resistance genes, integrating phenotypic and genomic SNP data to identify genetic diversity for crop improvement. As a data science intern, I analyzed large datasets using Python and SQL, developed machine learning models, and created interactive visualizations with Matplotlib and Tableau.

I am eager to contribute to research or industry teams that value rigorous data analysis, biological insight, and continuous learning; I bring strong problem-solving, communication, and teamwork abilities alongside hands-on experience with bioinformatics tools like BLAST, ClustalW, Biopython, and Galaxy.
