My Background
- 🎓 Expert in ML for healthcare — Built one of the earliest AI-based diabetes risk prediction systems during doctoral research at Birla Institute of Technology, long before AI in healthcare went mainstream
- 🏥 Proven across elite institutions — From cancer susceptibility gene discovery at MD Anderson and ALS/Parkinson's genomics at UMass Medical, to building a full CRISPR diagnostics platform from scratch at SeQure Dx
- 🛠️ Builds things that work — Across startups, clinical labs, and academic medical centers, consistently delivering from first line of code to final deliverable — communicating clearly with both technical and scientific audiences
Who I Work With
- 🏢 Biotech & pharma companies seeking senior bioinformatics expertise without the overhead of a full-time hire
- 🎓 Academic research groups & clinical genomics labs needing production-ready pipelines, ML models, or complex dataset interpretation
- 💻 Digital health & precision medicine organizations requiring scalable, containerized workflows built and validated for real-world deployment
- 🌍 Teams of all sizes — from focused short-term analyses to long-term embedded partnerships, fully remote
✅ How I Work
- 🧹 Clean, documented & version-controlled code — every deliverable is built to be maintained, scaled, and handed off without friction
- 🗣️ Plain language, not jargon — I communicate clearly with both technical teams and non-technical stakeholders
- ✅ I deliver what I commit to — full ownership from first line of code to final deliverable, no exceptions
- ❤️ The science always comes first — because behind every dataset is a research question, and behind every research question is ultimately a patient
