About

In Software Engineering, I leveraged the intensive Hackbright Academy program to build a solid foundation in Full-Stack Development. Our team developed a Flask application integrating Google APIs and React, showcasing my adaptability and commitment to fostering innovation at the intersection of science and technology. EU Cyber Security reinforced NIST, ISO, ETSI standards for security. At Insitro, my role as an Associate Scientist II involved spearheading ALS research through the cultivation of Motor Neurons and the application of high-content Phenotypic assays. This intricate work demanded proficiency in high-throughput screening and automation platforms, reflecting my core competencies in biotechnology and lab automation.
