My background sits at the intersection of scientific computing, quantitative research, and medicine. I earned an MD and PhD in Bioinformatics and Computational Biology at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill after several years of computational toxicology research with the U.S. EPA National Center for Computational Toxicology.
Much of my technical work has focused on building software and analytical systems that make complex scientific data easier to use reproducibly. That has included R package development, high-throughput screening workflows, bioinformatics and genomics, simulation, statistical method development, visualization, databases, and research computing.
I have also designed and taught graduate-level R programming courses, mentored researchers and programmers, and contributed to collaborative work spanning government, academia, and industry.
I have completed medical training through an MD and have additional training in Obstetrics & Gynecology. My medical background informs my scientific work, particularly in biomedical research and clinical data, but the consulting work described on this site is non-clinical.
Outside of work, I play bass and cello, cook, and spend an unreasonable amount of time thinking about instruments, audio systems, and other technical hobbies.
