Hi! π
My name is Tim (he/him).
I build systems at the intersection of Cloud Architecture, Computational Biology, and Data Science. I really enjoy solving tricky algorithmic puzzles to help accelerate scientific discovery. From architecting complex cloud systems from scratch, to engineering robust pipelines for NGS data, my goal is always to empower teams to turn data and code into decisions and cures. I've increasingly found satisfaction building, fixing, and automating the behind-the-scenes pieces of computational science, which many find tedious. If I can jump in and fix in ten minutes what would take someone else a week, I've done my job.
You'll also find personal projects here - I'm a big fan of hobbyist hardware, lighting, speakers, and microelectronics; home automation; networking; AI tinkering; and PC gaming.
I host a lot of random repos on GitHub - code hosted here is mostly either legacy and/or experiments done in spare moments here or there and much of it doesn't represent my current style nor reproducibility/documentation practices when working on production code. The vast bulk of code I write for work is proprietary - for up-to-date code samples please contact me directly.
If you have questions or requests on any repos, please feel free to add an issue and I'll do my best to address it.
