About

I’m a versatile data professional with 9 years of experience in bioinformatics and 14 years in programming, delivering impactful solutions across complex datasets. My career spans roles at Sanford Health, University of Pennsylvania, and University of Idaho, where I’ve built pipelines for data analysis, applied machine learning to predict outcomes, and led cross-functional projects. Skilled in Python, R, C, SQL, and AWS, I excel at transforming raw data into actionable insights, whether for health research or broader applications. I’ve authored 10 publications, mentored teams, and managed sensitive data with precision. Fluent in Russian and proficient in Spanish, I’m a collaborative problem-solver eager to drive innovation in data-driven fields, from analytics to tech development.

My research has been published in many scientific journals, and I've had the opportunity to present my work at conferences and meetings across the country. I'm particularly proud of my work developing Defiant, a program designed to identify and annotate differentially methylated regions from bisulfite-sequencing experiments, which was published in BMC Bioinformatics.

As a Lead Computational Bioinformatics Analyst at Sanford Health, I developed computational pipelines for clinical application of RNA-Seq, used machine learning and artificial intelligence to study patient data, and worked on precision medicine initiatives using patient genetic data.

In my most recent role as a research scientist at the University of Idaho as a Research Scientist, I have created a pipeline called HitList that identifies targetable proteins that can be a first step in rational drug design. I have discovered several new proteins that are viable anti-fungal targets.

I'm passionate about using my skills and expertise to make a positive impact in the scientific community. I'm always looking for new challenges and opportunities to collaborate with other professionals in the field.
