Bioinformatician and ML engineer delivering reproducible NGS pipelines and scalable bioinformatics solutions.
What I'm looking for
I am a bioinformatician and DevOps-oriented machine learning engineer focused on reproducible NGS/ML pipeline development, workflow automation, and CI/CD-driven deployment across Linux and HPC environments.
I have processed and analyzed thousands of genomic and proteomic samples, built ETL workflows managing multi-omics data, engineered a Neo4j knowledge graph with 10,000+ biological entities, and delivered 30+ interactive dashboards and reproducible reports supporting clinical programs.
My work blends computational biology, ML, and infrastructure: I develop containerized pipelines (Docker, Git, CI/CD), construct Snakemake workflows, and apply graph ML and deep learning methods to accelerate research and decision support.
