Software Engineer II, Bioinformatics

Alamar Biosciences Inc.

I'm a bioinformatics software engineer specializing in building sophisticated, production-grade applications for proteomics research. As the lead developer of NULISA Analysis Software (NAS), I design and implement complex systems that empower researchers to unlock insights from sequencing-based proteomics data.

My work bridges the gap between cutting-edge science and practical software engineering. With three master's degrees—Industrial Engineering, Data Science, and Executive Data Analysis—I bring a uniquely comprehensive perspective combining operational excellence, advanced analytics, and strategic data leadership.

With expertise spanning R Shiny development, Docker containerization, SQL database engineering, and proteomics sequencing data analysis, I bring a full-stack approach to scientific software development. I'm passionate about creating modular, scalable architectures that not only solve today's challenges but are built to evolve with tomorrow's requirements.
