Following a passion for biology and genetics through to a wet-lab PhD in Drosophila, I’ve since spent the past 6 years building computing skills as a bioinformatician and a software engineer across a multitude of sectors and research topics.

I have worked as a Bioinformatician for the NHS, building analysis workflows for variant calling in cancer diagnoses as well as for other genetic disorders. I have also worked as a software engineer building cloud infrastructure and learning skills in dev-ops. Most recently, I worked as a Bioinformatician in a crop editing biotech, where I spent time maintaining the in-house proprietary pipelines as well as working on novel research projects in miRNA.

I bring this broad skillset to the Quadram Institute and support a variety of research projects as part of the Core Bioinformatics group.
