What I'm looking for

I seek roles applying bioinformatics, ML, and software engineering to impactful life-sciences products, with collaborative teams and opportunities for technical leadership.

I’m a multidisciplinary data and software professional with a PhD in Biotechnology and 10+ years of experience in bioinformatics, scientific programming, and automation.

Over the last few years, I’ve expanded into fintech and full-stack development, building end-to-end platforms that use GPT-4, APIs, and Python for real-time analytics.

I built an AI-powered stock scanner platform analyzing 11,700+ stocks daily using Python and GPT-4. I also manage an eCommerce + affiliate business with WordPress, Etsy, and Amazon integrations.

I’ve designed scalable pipelines in genomics and life sciences, developed visual dashboards with R Shiny and Python, and deployed tools on cloud platforms like Google Cloud and Vercel.

I'm currently exploring opportunities in:
• Quantitative Research / Fintech Data Roles
• Full-Stack / ML / API-driven Software Engineering
• Senior Bioinformatics / Biotech Analytics

I thrive at the intersection of data, automation, product development, and intelligent systems.

Let’s connect if you’re building in finance, healthtech, life sciences, or AI-enabled platforms.
