Software Engineer II, Bioinformatics

Alamar Biosciences Inc.

I build software that makes proteomics research faster and more accessible. As lead developer of NULISA Analysis Software (NAS), I've created a platform used by 100+ researchers to analyze sequencing-based proteomics data.

My background in Industrial Engineering, Data Science, and Executive Data Analysis gives me a unique perspective. I understand how to build systems that are not just technically sound, but also operationally efficient and aligned with business goals.

I work across the full stack: R Shiny front-ends, Docker deployments, SQL databases, and proteomics analysis pipelines. I build modular systems that solve current problems while staying flexible enough to evolve with new requirements.

Professional Experience

Software Engineer II, Bioinformatics

Alamar Biosciences Inc.

2023 - Present

Leading development of NULISA Analysis Software (NAS), a modular R Shiny application for proteomics data analysis. Building scalable solutions and contributing to the NULISAseqR package.

  • Lead developer of NAS - an analysis platform with modular architecture
  • Designed and implemented Docker containerization with Azure Kubernetes Service deployment
  • Manage CI/CD pipeline including Kubernetes manifests, automated testing, and Azure Container Registry
  • Integrated testthat unit tests as deployment gates with renv environment management
  • Built multi-plate merging pipeline and ETL infrastructure for NULISAseqR package, adding project-level analysis capabilities that didn't exist before
  • Created automated QC systems and visualization dashboards

Scientific Researcher (Contractor)

Genentech

2020 - 2022

Provided statistical analysis support for clinical studies while developing Shiny applications that helped bench scientists visualize and analyze proteomics data independently. Worked with mass spectrometry-based proteomics and single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNAseq) datasets.

  • Supported statistical analysis for multiple clinical studies
  • Developed Shiny applications that let bench scientists visualize proteomics data without coding
  • Built tools for basic statistical analysis accessible to non-statisticians
  • Worked with challenging datasets including mass spec proteomics and scRNAseq data
  • Proposed out-of-the-box solutions and built toolbox of statistical methods
  • Made complex statistical methods accessible through user-friendly interfaces

Systems & Analytics Co-op

Enel X / EnerNOC

2018, 2019

Completed two co-op rotations with the Energy Markets Team, developing analytical tools and web applications for demand response program operations. Worked with geographically distributed teams across new and old energy markets.

  • Designed mission-critical improvement to settlement process involving UI development and database management
  • Developed UTI web application for inspecting and identifying interval meter data
  • Built analytical tools for enrollment, nomination, and settlement processes
  • Created R-Shiny dashboards for monitoring customer participation in Demand Response programs
  • Resulted in dramatic increase in efficiency of key operational processes
  • Collaborated with cross-functional, geographically distributed teams
