Available to hire
I am a cross-disciplinary biomedical informatician with over eight years of experience spanning bioinformatics and medical informatics. I thrive at the intersection of computational science and clinical insight to drive improvements in patient outcomes.
I have led machine learning models linking pathogens to non-communicable diseases, built scalable pipelines for national biobanks and large EHR datasets, and mentored teams of statisticians, bench researchers, and clinicians. I enjoy collaborating to translate data into actionable clinical strategies.
