I am an MIT-trained PhD Biologist and my professional interests have included questions regarding oncology, metabolism, enzymology, and how mammals hibernate, with some wildlife biology and sensor/hardware development thrown in the mix. I have extensive experience designing and executing experiments, performing computational analysis, and interpreting and communicating results to drive projects forward.
My experience in solving biological research problems helped me find a love for working with data. I bring strong quantitative and statistical skills from my background in life science and economics. I am experienced in working with Python and R, mostly from the command line, and sometimes in an HPC environment. Some examples of my hard and soft skills are highlighted on this website, which I host on AWS.
