Taylan Fidanoğlu
@taylanfidanolu
Bilingual remote specialist (EN/TR): bioinformatics pipelines, data analysis, scripting, translation, ghostwriting, and web development.
What I'm looking for
I'm a molecular biologist by training with 5+ years of computational experience, but my day-to-day work spans well beyond academia. I build custom data pipelines and scripts (R, Bash, Python) for clients who need genomic analysis, variant calling, or any kind of structured data handling and I'm equally comfortable translating documents, transcribing audio, or ghostwriting articles in both English and Turkish.
What I bring to remote teams: I taught myself to code from zero during my MSc, built production bioinformatics workflows used in published research (4 peer-reviewed papers), and collaborated asynchronously across 6+ countries in a European research network. I know how to deliver on deadline without anyone looking over my shoulder.
I'm also available for web development (landing pages, portfolio sites, lightweight apps), content writing (blog posts, SEO copy, technical docs), and virtual assistance / customer support work. I pick things up fast and I'm not precious about job titles — if you need it done remotely and done well, let's talk.
