Data Scientist / Guitarist

Currently studying bacteria in human gut.

About Me

I’m a data scientist who is fascinated by microbes and their impact on human health. I develop methods for describing this link and build open-source software that assists researchers all over the world in performing cutting-edge microbiome data analysis.

Core competences:

Software engineering (Python, Docker, Git);

Machine learning (Scikit-learn, Numpy, PyTorch);

High performance computing (Shell, Slurm);

Visualization (Plotly, Bokeh, JavaScript);

Statistics (R, SciPy, Stan);

Microbiome data analysis (QIIME2, Pandas).
