I build tools and platforms that turn complex genomic data into clear insights. My work focuses on developing bioinformatics pipelines, interactive visualizations, and AI models for target discovery and mechanism-of-action understanding.

What I do

I use large language models (including Claude and GitHub Copilot) to accelerate planning and development of the platforms I lead.

• Create interactive dashboards – Build visualization platforms that make multi-omics data accessible for research teams and decision-makers.
• Build bioinformatics tools – Develop Nextflow pipelines and custom Python and R packages for sequencing data processing.
• Develop AI models – Build neural network models for drug development and target discovery.
• Architect cloud infrastructure – Design scalable, reproducible computational environments on AWS for genomics workflows.

Current work As Director of the Bioinformatics Platform at Harvard Chan School, I manage the core bioinformatics pipelines and lead development of interactive visualization tools for multiple research programs.

Consulting Advisor to emerging biotech companies on computational biology strategy, data infrastructure, and bioinformatics platforms for target discovery and drug development.

Background Over 13 years leading computational biology teams in biotech and academia, with experience spanning fibrosis research, oncology, neurodegeneration, and xenotransplantation. Proven track record of building teams, managing cross-functional collaborations, and delivering genomic insights that drive drug discovery decisions.
