Senior Computational Research Support Analyst at the Yale Center for Research Computing
I’ve always been interested in how computing can serve human endeavor. My academic background is evolutionary biology, well served by computational methods.
I currently work at Sema4 GeneDx on the production bioinformatics team. There I help author, run, and maintain HIPAA-compliant HPC-local and cloud-native DNA sequence analysis pipelines and related infrastructure. I also lend my bioinformatics expertise to other software developers and engineers from whom I learn the latest and best CI/CD and AWS/Azure practices in a production enviornment.
Previously I worked at the Yale Center for Research Computing (YCRC). There I helped researchers accelerate their computational work, often on Yale’s high performance computing infrastructure. To this end, I consulted with researchers one-on-one, adapted and designed short workshops, and contributed to the YCRC docs and tools. At Yale I had the pleasure of collaborating on a diverse set of projects. They ranged from supporting a digital classroom environment for YData123 to working in Casey Dunn’s lab on an IoT equipment monitoring project and a phlogenetics manuscript.
