Hi, I'm Aaron!

I'm a UCSD graduate with a degree in Bioinformatics.
Currently searching for research and development opportunities in the fields of Biotech and Life Sciences. I specialize in using computational techniques to simplify complex issues in science. With big data becoming critical to modern biology, my passion is bridging the gap between scientific research and modern technology.

Skills I Can Offer

  • Programming and Software Development
  • Background in Biology and Genetics
  • Data Analytics and Visualization
  • Shell Scripting and Pipelines
  • Algorithm Implementation
  • Excellent Teamwork and Communication

Data as an Artform

With the field of science moving torwards big data, it's easy to get lost.
My goal is to highlight data in a way everyone can understand, and to tell a visual story with every dataset.

Projects

A closer look at the details and methods behind some of my favorite projects.


MMA Math Dashboard

MMA Math Dashboard

If Fighter A beats Fighter B, and Fighter B beats Fighter C...then Fighter A can beat Fighter C. This is the law commonly referred to as MMA Math

Pulling from a database of thousands of fighters, this interactive dashboard calculates if Fighter A can beat Fighter B using MMA Math. The dashboard also visualizes statistics and records for fighters alongside the path to victory.

covid-19 Research

Research on Intermediary SARS-CoV-2 Hosts

A research report highlighting the critical role of bioinformatics when looking into the origins of SARS-CoV-2.

Through the use of comparative genomics and phylogenetic analysis, I build upon current research and show why COVID-19 may have come from pangolins.

Python

Bioinformatics Scripts and Algorithms

A collection of python scripts for manipulating and analyzing sequence data. Designed to increase productivity by providing computational solutions for key research problems.

Modularly written with ease of use in mind, all scripts require no additional downloads and feature command line functionality to ensure compatibility with existing pipelines.
