Great question! I work at a biotech company, doing a great mix of software engineering and science. Been doing this for over 20 years at various companies in varying blends of code and science for both chemistry/cheminformatics and computational biology/bioinformatics. Also ran a solo consultancy for about 4 years in there.

Tech stack = Python (mostly for chemistry, currently), R (mostly for computational biology)

Recently having fun building web services around open source and proprietary tools + HPC using Python and FastAPI + the usual suspects (pandas, numpy, sklearn, altair, dask)

Tons of cool problems with work that can ultimately make a real difference in patients' lives.

Education: BS Biochemistry, PhD Biophysics

PS - we're in the SF Bay Area and are hiring software engineers & business/systems analysts; looking for people at the intersection of code and science. Reach out if you're interested (email in profile, I think, or post here if you can't find my contact).


I may be interested, but I don’t see your email in your profile.


Sorry about that, added contact into to profile (long time reader, new at the posting and profile thing).
