Bioinformatics engineer

After completing my PhD in Bioinformatics, I transitioned into industry as a Bioinformatics Engineer, where I've worked in the diagnostics and drug discovery space. I'm always eager to expand my skillset through my professional work and side projects - several of my open-source contributions are featured on this wesbite.

Open-source projects

ggtranscript

With the increasing popularity of long-read sequencing technology came an increasing demand for tools that visualise and explore full-length transcripts. ggtranscript fills this gap by enabling users to easily create transcript annotation plots with just a few lines of code.

tuni

Transcript assembly tools assign arbitrary transcript IDs to each sample, which becomes a problem for long-read sequencing data where the number of novel transcripts is very high. tuni solves this by unifying transcript IDs, making it easier to track and compare transcripts across samples. Built in Rust, tuni is extremely fast and memory-efficient.

Portfolio website

This project marked my entry into web development. I built a website to showcase my favourite open-source projects. The frontend is developed with HTML5, SCSS, and JavaScript, and the backend is powered by Django. It's deployed for free using PythonAnywhere.

autogroceries

As a by-the-recipe cook, I built up a rotation of around 25 go-to meals. Over time, my weekly grocery orders became repetitive, which inspired me to create autogroceries. autogroceries uses Playwright to automate the process of adding ingredients to the cart on the Sainsbury’s website.

megadepth

Accurate and efficient quanitification of coverage is a essential step in many bioinformatic workflows. megadepth is a high-performance tool that performs this task faster and with lower memory usage than competing solutions.

Chess-related blog post

The Queens gambit TV series re-kindled my enthusiasm for chess, which snowballed into a minor obsession in lockdown. Had other people been affected in the same way? I decided to investigate using the chess.com API and wrote up my findings as a blog post.
