What I'm looking for

I seek roles applying NGS and bioinformatics to solve biological problems, with mentoring opportunities, collaborative research, and hands-on data analysis.

I am a bioinformatics specialist with extensive teaching experience and practical industry exposure, focused on NGS sequencing, genomic and metagenomic data analysis. I combine strong programming skills in Python and SQL with hands-on use of bioinformatics tools like GATK, BWA, HISAT, QIIME and Kraken to deliver accurate analyses and reproducible results.

I have led advanced training programs and data-analysis projects, built end-to-end pipelines, and completed applied research on microbiomes, gene expression, and toxicology studies. I emphasize clear technical communication, practical problem solving, and mentoring students and professionals to build real-world bioinformatics skills.
