Work History


2020-02 - Current

    Research Associate and Project Manager
    Simon Fraser University, Burnaby, BC

  • Troubleshooting problems using a breadth of computational and statistical knowledge for implementation of best practices and expanded improvement initiatives.
  • Developed and deployed a PostgreSQL database on AWS RDS to store Canadian SARS-CoV-2 case and sequencing information.
  • Developed and deployed an interactive dashboard on Heroku that implements an ETL pipeline to display live Canadian SARS-CoV-2 case and vaccination data.
  • Developed a ML software package in Python that automatically detects outliers in longitudinal data using multiple statistical strategies and forecasts future timepoints.
  • Analyzed BC socioeconomic and COVID-19 vaccination data from multiple sources. Built and evaluated linear regression models to determine factors influencing vaccine uptake.

Languages / Frameworks: Python, R, HTML, CSS, Markdown, Amazon Web Services (AWS), Anaconda, Bokeh, Bootstrap, Flask, ggplot2, Heroku, Jupyter Notebook, Matplotlib, Numpy, Pandas, Plotly, Seaborn, Sklearn, SQL

2019-02 - 2019-09

    Research Scientist
    IMV Inc., Dartmouth, NS

  • Analyzed gene expression data from clinical trial participants and produced actionable insights for drug mechanism of action.
  • Led team of 5-6 research associates in vaccine development projects and successfully met all key milestones.

Languages / Frameworks: R, Python, Ubuntu, Anaconda, Bash, Bioconductor, ggplot2

2014-01 - 2018-04

    Research Associate and Bioinformatics Program Manager
    R.E.W. Hancock Lab, University of British Columbia, Vancouver, BC

  • Supervised bioinformatics and RNA-Seq programs and maintained international collaborations.
  • Built and improved pipelines for breaking down and analyzing complex data.
  • Utilized machine learning approaches to identify sets of genes driving disease etiology.
  • Developed a novel algorithm to identify gene expression signatures associated with diseases that have overlapping symptomologies, thus enabling greater diagnostic accuracy. This work has been published)

Languages / Frameworks R, Python, Ubuntu, Anaconda, Bash, Bioconductor, Caret, ggplot2
