I run tiny_microbist, an independent science communication project focused on translating microbiology into concise, visual reference cards. A lot of educational content online is either buried under dry academic jargon or diluted with synthetic, AI-generated imagery. My project presents verified microorganisms - from industrial fermentation strains to extremophiles - using authentic micrographs and physical scale references, such as the cross-section of a human hair. I break down their morphology, metabolic traits, and biotechnology applications using cited scientific literature, direct explanations, and dry humor. It functions as an applied communication portfolio that proves my ability to convert complex biological data into clear, accurate media, while serving as a disciplined framework to expand my own mastery of microbial physiology.

I run an open-source protocol hub dedicated to plant tissue culture and in vitro micropropagation. Most published protocols are scattered across paywalled or poorly documented papers, full of vague steps that make replication a nightmare. My project takes those methods and breaks them down into clear, standardized workflows. I document exact growth media compositions, precise hormone ratios, sterilization routines, and environmental variables so anyone can reproduce the culture work without trial-and-error guesswork. It serves as an accessible database for researchers and hobbyists, while serving as a direct portfolio piece that shows my ability to take messy experimental biology and turn it into auditable, clean data.
