I grew up in hospital waiting rooms before I ever stepped into a research lab.
Those early experiences sparked a curiosity about illness, diagnostics, and the systems that keep us healthy. Over time, that curiosity evolved into a habit of building things, from science fair projects and electronics prototypes to bioinformatics pipelines and research tools.
Today, my work sits at the intersection of biology and computation. I've worked on marine metagenomics, microbial genome reconstruction, structural bioinformatics, and intrinsically disordered proteins. What interests me most is understanding complex systems and translating that understanding into something useful.
