Software Engineer on Elastic File System

Grading assignments and tutoring students in the computer science, biology, and chemistry departments

Designed, implemented, and plumbed per-request metric loggers across distributed components of the Elastic File System for end to end request tracking.

Worked with researchers from UC Santa Cruz and National Marine Fisheries Service to create an R package that assess which SNPs best assign individuals to a population without introducing high-grading bias and to identify distinct Swainson’s thrush populations and migratory flyways for the Bird Genoscape Project.

Extracted DNA from coral specimens and prepared it for PCR; programmed in Python and R to help comparing how accurately surfperch parentage is determined using SNPs opposed to microsatellites.
