I come from a background in DevOps, cybersecurity, and national security, work that had me automating infrastructure, running secure systems, and briefing intelligence stakeholders. I've brought that same mindset into bacterial genomics, building tools that find regulatory signals in bacterial genomes and leading a pipeline that pulls together genome annotation data from multiple sources. I split my time between writing code, working at the bench, and studying CRISPR systems in a radiation-resistant bacterium, work I've presented at national microbiology conferences.
