I am a recent biophysics PhD graduate looking for new opportunities in Data Engineering, Big Data, and Software Engineering. I recently completed the Data Engineering Fellowship at Insight Data Science. You can find me on LinkedIn.
Data Engineering
As a Data Engineering fellow, I developed “LinkRun” a pipeline to determine popularity of millions of websites (at a subdomain granularity) by analyzing the number of times they are referenced in a data set of over 2.5 billion web pages (>17 terabytes compressed data). I processed the data using Spark deployed on an AWS EMR cluster and loaded results into Postgres (>47 million rows).
I also created an interactive web application to allow users to view and query this website popularity database.
Graduate studies
During my graduate studies I used biophysical and molecular biology methods such as NMR and fluorescence to study intrinsically disordered proteins. I also created data analysis tools and pipelines to automate, improve, and simplify various tasks. Specifically, my research was focused on understanding how phosphorylation regulates a disordered transcription factor.
This website
This website contains links to scientific resources that I found useful during my graduate studies and a few data wrangling tools that I created. These tools were mostly for internal lab use, but each tool comes with example input data that can be used to demonstrate how the tool works.
