I am a genomics scientist working with large-scale bioinformatic and genetic datasets.


I’m an experienced bioinformatician, geneticist and molecular biologist.

My main tools for programming and data analysis are Python and R. I use workflow managers, version control, containerisation and high-performance computing for bioinformatics. I’m also experienced with bash scripting and *nix system administration.

I am currently using my strategic development and user support skills in the context of a team working to provide national bioinformatics infrustructure, in collaboration with a distributed global team.

I am skilled at the entire wet-lab workflow for producing short and long read sequencing libraries, from nucleic acid extraction to library preparation and running instruments for 2nd- and 3rd-generation sequencing. I have experience with classical genetic approaches with live organisms, including transformation, crosses, microdissection and bioassays.

I enjoy communicating complex bioinformatics and genetic results to research partners, external stakeholders and students. I visualise and share my results with ggplot2, Markdown, Pandoc, TeX and a bit of html & css. I teach complex bioinformatics algorithms to postgraduate students in classroom and one-on-one settings.

I’m interested in research related to agriculture and sustainable development, tools and techniques in bioinformatics and evolutionary and comparative biology.
