I hold an M.S. in Bioinformatics and am a Senior Research Application Developer focused on designing, modernizing, and operating national‑scale, NIH‑funded genomics platforms that enable secure, reproducible genetic discovery for thousands of investigators across diverse biomedical domains. Over more than 13 years, I have led the modernization of large‑scale analysis pipelines using workflow‑driven architectures, containerized computing, and secure cloud infrastructure aligned with federal security and accessibility standards. As a full‑stack engineer, I translate emerging analytical methods into robust, production‑ready systems for national research consortia. I also contribute through manuscript and program review and have co‑authored 30+ peer‑reviewed publications, cited 2,300+ times (h‑index 18), with research spanning infectious disease, cancer, cardiometabolic and kidney disease, and maternal health, and publications in Nature, Cell Genomics, Nature Genetics, and The American Journal of Human Genetics.
