About Me

With over 13 years of experience in bioinformatics, I’ve had the privilege of working in a variety of environments, from multinational corporations (MNCs) to contract research organizations (CROs), and now within a fast-paced startup. My career has spanned roles in both small and large teams, covering research and clinical bioinformatics. These experiences have provided me with valuable insights into various aspects of the field, and I’m passionate about guiding others as they navigate their own bioinformatics careers.

In addition to my hands-on experience, I hold the NET JRF and Bioinformatics National Certification (BINC) with an AIR 18 rank, which reflects my deep understanding of bioinformatics. I’ve continually honed my skills through a mix of formal education, certifications, and self-taught programming, which has given me a unique perspective on how to succeed in this field.

Over the course of my career, I’ve collaborated with multidisciplinary teams, including:

  • Python developers
  • Front-end developers
  • Scrum masters
  • Genetic counselors
  • Doctors
  • DevOps engineers
  • C-suite executives

This broad exposure has helped me understand how bioinformatics intersects with various domains and has enhanced my ability to guide professionals from diverse backgrounds. Whether working in small, agile teams or leading large-scale projects, I have experience mentoring and leading both research and clinical bioinformatics teams.
