NGS & Bioinformatics Specialist | Leveraging Genomic Data, Protein Modeling & ML to Accelerate Genetic Research | MSc Genetics
About
Driven to decode life’s complexity through data, discovery, and relentless curiosity. I am a passionate Bioinformatics and Genetics professional (MSc Genetics), determined to apply IT and computational skills to unravel the molecular logic behind life and find sustainable, science-driven solutions to real-world biological challenges. My scientific journey is powered by an insatiable curiosity. I constantly seek new knowledge, connect seemingly unrelated concepts, and translate them into the language of science to understand how the world truly works. At BioCogniz, I have led projects in NGS data analysis, genome sequencing, variant detection, protein modeling, and custom bioinformatics pipeline development. I specialize in troubleshooting complex environments (Linux, Windows, conda) and use Python, shell scripting, and prompt engineering with AI tools to accelerate and automate research. I bridge computational and experimental biology: interpreting chromatograms, gene expression data, and mutation profiles while designing streamlined, error-free methodologies for wet-lab experiments. I also mentor interns and deliver lectures on NGS, DNA technologies, and genetics fundamentals, nurturing the next generation of scientific thinkers. I thrive on inquiry, problem-solving, and the pursuit of knowledge — aiming to grow into a scientist who not only explores the unknown but contributes to preserving life on Earth through impactful research
