About
I am a scientist building user-friendly software that supports real research workflows for the healthcare industry, biotech companies, and academic research groups. I have nearly a decade of experience in biological sciences and four years of experience in software development.
I began my career in a genetic disease diagnostic laboratory, working on molecular assays and next-generation sequencing workflows, and later moved into cancer research, where I supported multi-omics projects as a data analyst and contributed to data curation, workflow optimization, and research operations.
Today, I combine my biology background with software development to build tools, pipelines, and interfaces that make complex research tasks easier for scientists who don't write code.
I'm focusing on bioinformatics software development building tools that sit between experimental biology and practical computation. My goal is to bridge the gap between scientists who understand biological problems and the software that needs to support their workflows.
Most researchers are not programmers, and they shouldn't need to be.
I help by translating biological or clinical questions into tools, pipelines, and interfaces that actually work in real research settings without requiring scientists to write code, debug scripts, or manage complex data formats.
I design solutions that allow researchers to:
- organize and clean messy datasets
- automate repetitive tasks
- run reproducible single-cell, spatial-omics, or clinical analyses
- interact with their data through simple, intuitive interfaces
- offload the computational layer and focus on the science
Technically, here is what I work with:
I work on bioinformatics software development, building tools that sit between data analysis and practical research workflows.
I use Python for data processing and TypeScript/React for full-stack applications, using frameworks that let me develop clean, reliable interfaces.
I work with tools like Scanpy for single-cell and spatial data, and I write both backend and frontend logic depending on what a project requires.
This website collects the projects I'm building at the intersection of biology, data analysis and software. My goal is to create simple, focused applications that make everyday research workflows easier.
- Internal tools and dashboards for biotech and pharma teams
- Applications for spatial biology and multi-omics data exploration
- Small applications that simplify lab or analytics tasks
- Prototypes that test ideas in healthcare and research software
- Companies developing single-cell or spatial technologies
- Biotech and pharma teams working with single-cell or spatial data
- Research groups and PIs running single-cell or spatial biology projects
End-to-end development
You explain the biological or clinical problem and I design and build the application from start to finish. This includes data handling, backend logic and the full interface.
Tool development and handover
I build the pipelines or dashboards you need and I provide clean, documented code that your team can maintain or extend.
Done for you
I take responsibility for a clearly defined project and deliver a working product that is ready to use.
Done with you
We work together on your systems. I help implement the core parts of your infrastructure and make sure it runs smoothly in your environment.
Advisory
I review your workflows and help you make better decisions about tools, pipelines and architecture for projects in healthcare, spatial biology and biotech.
If you work in healthcare, pharma or biotech and you need a tool that doesn't exist yet, you can reach me through the contact page.
