I’m a product-minded computational biologist. I like building tools that make omics data easier to explore, trust, and share. I build interactive apps and AI-assisted tools for genomics and multi-omics integration, spanning bulk, single-cell, and Perturb-seq RNA-seq through whole-exome data, with a focus on modular design and reproducible workflows.
