Introduction

I am a Ph.D. bioinformatician and experienced technical leader with a track record of success across biotech, diagnostics, and research environments. My career spans leadership roles at Caris Life Sciences, Form Bio, Karius, DNAnexus, and UCSF, where I’ve guided teams in developing validated clinical assays and scalable data infrastructure. As the creator of widely-adopted open-source tools like CNVkit and a significant contributor to Biopython, I combine deep scientific expertise with practical software engineering skills across the full spectrum of computational biology – from design of experiment, to NGS analysis and variant intepretation, to data science and cloud architecture.

What I do

I provide strategic guidance and implementation expertise in multi-omic data management, genome interpretation, and cloud technology strategy for precision medicine initiatives. I specialize in designing reproducible bioinformatics workflows, regulatory-compliant pipelines (CAP/CLIA/FDA), and scalable data architectures that transform complex biological datasets into actionable insights. I’ll work with you to deliver tailored solutions for your organization – whether you need scientific analysis, end-to-end pipeline development, data infrastructure optimization, or technical leadership to accelerate your bioinformatics capabilities and innovation goals.
