ABOUT ME
Data Engineer/Scientist for Biological Science
Data Engineer/Scientist for Biological Science
For the past 8 years I have predominantly used Python for the generation of custom data pipelines and analysis algorithms for biological science discovery.
Currently, my remit is within population genetics which incorporates many different dataset types which are often terabytes in size. I am also well versed in R, Git, Linux and Bash.
I enjoy creating novel algorithms but also optimising existing or legacy code.

Stuart assisted me in my learning of R for Bioinformatics. He was very helpful in giving me pointers on writing my code, where I can make improvements and try to break large tasks into small manageable chunks.
