I am a biologist and bioinformatician postdoc in Titus Brown’s lab at UC Davis. I am working as part of the NIH Common Fund Data Ecosystem’s training and engagement team to develop bioinformatics pipelines and training resources for researchers and clinicians. I am involved in efforts to make NIH data FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable).

I write code in R, Markdown, and BASH.

I can develop workflows in Snakemake and run bioinformatics pipelines in the cloud (AWS, academic HPC).

computer> I also teach/organize several bioinformatics workshops including ones about AWS, Conda, Snakemake and R.

I got my PhD at Michigan State University (2018) where I studied venom resistant voltage-gated sodium ion channels in wild rodents called grasshopper mice. You can learn more about it on my Research Projects page

I also have a masters degree in molecular genetics from the University of Leicester (UK) and a bachelors degree in life sciences and chemistry from Christ College (India).
