Nice to meet you!
I just defended a PhD in computational genetics and now work at Palantir on Hospital Ops.
I've built software to power analysis in DNA biobanks, alternative asset markets, and more.
I'm excited and highly motivated to take on new challenges at new scale.

Work
My doctoral work in the
Below Lab at Vanderbilt University involved innovation in genetic relatedness analysis.
I developed software
that leverages biobank scale genetic data to characterize
novel disease associations, build pedigrees out of genotype data, and more.
Built with: Python, Perl, PLINK, Docker
Overview: Pedigree generation software that maximizes the utility of two different kinds of genomic segment metadata: global sharing proportions from PRIMUS and segment length & distribution from ERSA.
Built with: C++, Python, SQLite
Overview: Scalable map-reduce approach to identifying IBD segment-based enrichment of binary trait disease case status in large datasets. We enable phenome-wide analysis that outperforms traditional association-based methods like GWAS.
