Cleaned and analyzed a three-year biological dataset using RStudio and Excel to extract insights on developmental timing, environmental effects on physiology, and reproductive correlations. Concatenated large genomic datasets using Linux to generate a unified dataset uploaded to NCBI. Applied Python and deep learning methods for genome annotation, converting raw sequences into interpretable biological data. Mapped millions of genomic reads using MiniMap2. Collaborated with cross-functional teams to gather requirements and deliver actionable insights. Created SOPs for lab operations to facilitate future training and onboarding. Effectively narrated stories told by data to communicate findings to management.
