Work Experience

  • Senior Frontend Engineer

    Jan, 2020 - Present

    At Xplor, I work with the MarianaTek team building and maintaining our suite of web applications. I also work with Xplor on our web-component design system used across all products.

  • Senior Research Software Engineer

    Nov, 2019 - Jan, 20202 months

    At the Center for Computation and Visualization at Brown University, I build, deploy, and maintain custom web applications to support research scientists, students, and the community. Together with my team, I support a variety of projects from one-off applications to large distributed systems used by thousands of students. Moreover, I mentor our web development interns and engage them on using best practices to work collaboratively.

  • Research Software Engineer

    May, 2018 - Oct, 20191 year 6 months

    As part of the Data Science Practice and then the newly created Center for Computation and Visualization, I worked closely with the Brown Center for Biomedical Informatics and the Computational Biology Core developing software solutions for data management, analyses, exploration, and visualization. Among these solutions, I created and collaborated to open-source software written in Julia. I also provided support to researchers and students with creation of self-contained computing environments using Docker/Singularity for Brown’s secure computing ecosystem.

  • Data Science Associate

    Nov, 2016 - Apr, 20181 year 5 months

    As part of the Data Science Practice, I worked with different groups at Brown on exploratory data analysis and machine learning, data visualization, web development, and software engineering. I primarily worked with the Rhode Island Innovative Policy lab analyzing and visualizing data that helped researchers to design and test data-informed policy.

  • Senior Research Fellow

    Jun, 2014 - Jun, 20162 years 1 month

    Analyzed human genome sequences using cutting edge bioinformatics tools such as GATK, Picard, BWA. Created data processing pipelines in Python. Created a R shiny app to explore and visualize variant data. Built a web application for our lab using ember to generate protocols and calculate reagent amount for targeted sequencing reactions.
