Bioinformatics ScientistParse BiosciencesApr 2026 - Current (6 months)• Build and improve computational pipelines and interactive visualizations for single-cell RNA-seq analysis on Trailmaker, a cloud platform used by 1,200+ monthly active users across 3,000+ research labs.
• Work across the full stack with no hard line between backend, frontend, and testing — own features from planning through implementation.
• Use Python, R, Scanpy, and Seurat to build and maintain single-cell analysis workflows, version-controlled with Nextflow and Git.
• Handle large sequencing datasets and custom processing pipelines through containerized applications on AWS.
• Troubleshoot customer analyses directly and turn recurring support issues into pipeline fixes.
• Review teammates' code and track new met- Data ScientistUnitedHealth GroupJun 2025 - Mar 2026 (10 months)• Designed and maintained interactive Tableau dashboards and executive reports to monitor KPIs, healthcare utilization, quality metrics, and patient outcomes, enabling evidence-based decision-making for clinical and operational leadership.
• Partnered with clinical, research, and product teams to analyze large-scale EHR, claims, and clinical datasets, delivering data-driven insights that supported healthcare programs and operational decision-making.
• Performed data extraction, cleaning, validation, and statistical analysis using SAS, SAS Enterprise Guide, Python (Pandas, NumPy, SciPy), and SQL, ensuring high data quality and analytical accuracy.
• Built cohort definitions and longitudinal patient datasets using SQL (CTEs, wi - LBioinformatics AnalystLoopwormJul 2019 - Jun 2023 (4 years)• Designed and maintained end-to-end NGS pipelines for insect genomics — transcriptome assembly and gene expression profiling — to support biomanufacturing and strain optimization.
• Worked closely with entomologists and wet-lab scientists to keep analyses aligned with experimental design and insect biology.
• Analyzed large insect multi-omics datasets to study gene function and metabolic pathways relevant to insect-based production.
• Processed and QC'd Illumina sequencing data (FASTQ/BCL) against standardized workflows.
• Built reproducible pipelines in Linux, Docker, and Nextflow on HPC systems, version-controlled in Git.
• Standardized and harmonized genomic and experimental datasets across studies for consisten

- Viral Genomics & Evolutionary AnalysisRowan UniversityJan 2023 - Jan 2025 (2 years 1 month)• Analyzed 1,000 SARS-CoV-2 genomes to characterize mutation dynamics, identifying dozens of mutation hotspots via negative binomial modeling (p
- Multi-Omics Integration (RNA-Seq + ChIP-Seq)Rowan UniversityJan 2023 - Jan 2025 (2 years 1 month)• Integrated RNA-seq and ChIP-seq data from K562 (leukemia) and MCF-7 (breast cancer) cell lines to study transcriptional regulation and cancer biomarkers.
• Ran full pipelines — QC (FastQC), trimming (Trimmomatic), alignment (HISAT2, Bowtie2), and peak calling (MACS2) for POLR2A — across 50M+ reads per sample.
• Identified candidate regulatory motifs via MEME-ChIP/STREME and ran functional enrichment analysis (DAVID, Cytoscape).
• Produced 12+ publication-style visualizations (heatmaps, volcano plots, genome browser tracks) using Matplotlib, Seaborn, IGV, and UCSC Genome Browser. - Computational Pipeline DevelopmentRowan UniversityJan 2023 - Jan 2025 (2 years 1 month)• Built Python/Bash pipelines for FASTA, FASTQ, GFF, and BLAST XML formats, cutting analysis turnaround from roughly 3 weeks to under a week.
• Wrote GFF parsers to extract gene, exon, and CDS features across 50+ genomes; the parsers were later adopted by other lab members.
• Narrowed a starting list of 22,000+ genes to about 50 high-priority biomarker candidates using log2 fold-change and FDR correction.
• Built local BLASTp databases across 5 viral families and ran phylogenetic analysis on 200+ viral spike glycoproteins to flag conserved domains relevant to vaccine design.
