Mathematician turned computational biologist. I build the data pipelines and models behind stem-cell research.

Selected work

Lead project

literature_agent

Spec-driven tooling for biomedical literature research — built once, then picked up across the lab by 6–8 teammates and a PhD mentee. TODO(John): real one-liner — what it does + the concrete win

Python specs literature

SKiM / KinderMiner

Literature mining across 30M+ abstracts.

PythonNLP

NGS expression pipeline

Cut turnaround from weeks to overnight.

HTCondor

Notes on math, biology, and building. Later, but soon. TODO(John): seed 1–2 posts swiped from LinkedIn
