I'm a computational biologist with an M.S. in Bioinformatics from UMass Lowell. I specialize in cancer genomics and rare variant analysis. My graduate research focused on gene-based burden testing in neuroblastoma. I identified candidate cancer genes using large-scale genomic data, HPC pipelines, and population databases like gnomAD and COSMIC.
I'm currently building toward a career in cancer bioinformatics. Currently, I am working on deepening my skills in RNA-seq analysis, somatic variant calling, and pipeline development with Python, R, and Linux.
- Rare variant burden testing (RV-Excalibur, ANNOVAR, gnomAD)
- VCF processing and variant annotation
- Python (pandas, scripting, pipeline automation)
- HPC / SLURM job scheduling
- Cancer genomics databases (COSMIC, ClinVar, gnomAD)
During undergrad, I was part of the varsity softball team at Merrimack College, where I learned valuable skills like time management and leadership.
When I'm not coding, I'm playing video games or spending time with my wife, our dog, Nova, and our cat, Simmy! ฅ^•ﻌ•^ฅ
