I work on genomics and biology projects, the kind where you have raw sequencing data, mass spec output, or protein sequences and you need someone to turn it into results you can publish or act on. I've done this across more than 67 projects on Upwork and through my PhD and postdoc, so I know what a clean analysis looks like and I know the shortcuts that cause problems later. Quick background: Actually postdoc in population genetics. PhD in bioinformatics and molecular evolution at Paris-Saclay (CNRS), where I worked on plant-bacteria interactions. Master's in bioinformatics from Sorbonne, and bachelor's in computer science from Descartes. I've been programming for over 10 years, mostly Python, R, and Bash, though I can work in Java, C, or JavaScript if a project calls for it. Eight years of building data pipelines specifically. What I do: Genomics and population genetics. GWAS, co-GWAS (PLINK2, Firth regression), population structure analysis (PCA, ADMIXTURE, pairwise FST), ancient DNA work (qpAdm, qpWave, ADMIXTOOLS2), variant calling and annotation. I've run these on human, plant, pathogen, and ancient samples. Genome assembly and annotation: De novo assembly from Nanopore or Illumina, gene prediction, functional annotation, genome comparison. Bacteria, plants, insects, human. I've assembled all of them at some point. RNA-seq: Differential expression from raw reads, co-expression networks, pathway enrichment. Full pipeline or just the analysis part, depending on what you need. Structural bioinformatics: AlphaFold2 batch runs, FoldSeek for structural comparisons, molecular docking with ClusPro, AutoDock Vina, or HADDOCK. I do the visualization too (PyMOL, ChimeraX), and create publication-ready figures, not just screenshots. Phylogenetics and molecular evolution: IQ-TREE2, RAxML, selection tests, gene family evolution, protein evolution. Proteomics and lipidomics: Mass spec data processing through to statistical analysis and biological interpretation. Pipelines: I build workflows, documented and tested with example data. Your team should be able to rerun them without me. Writing and code review: Methods sections, technical reports, manuscript figures. I also debug and review existing pipelines. If your code or script doesn't work, I'll fix it and tell you why it broke. Everything comes with commented code and R Markdown or Jupyter reports. Figures are made in ggplot2 or matplotlib and ready for submission. 100% Job Success score across 65+ projects. I reply the same day. "If you need a bioinformatics expert who's not only insanely skilled but also great to work with, Dr. Amira is the one. Would 100% work with her again!" (Client) "Amira delivered a thorough and well-structured technical review, including worked examples and code snippets that were very useful for demonstrating enablement. Her analysis was detailed, thoughtful, and delivered on time. I highly recommend her for bioinformatics and technical review projects." (Recent client) Drop me a message with your data and what you're trying to do. I'll get back to you with a plan and timeline.

Bioengineer and former Founding R&D Engineer at BioCompute Inc., with ~4 years of experience across startups and international research labs in computational biology, bioinformatics, and genomic data analysis. Named inventor on a US patent filing. I build computational pipelines and analytical systems for biological data: NGS, WGS, long-read sequencing, and high-dimensional experimental outputs. My work combines bioinformatics, statistical modeling, signal processing, and machine learning to extract interpretable patterns from complex biological systems, often within larger pipelines that integrate APIs, containerized environments, and multiple software components. My experience spans genome assembly, variant analysis, methylation detection, structural bioinformatics, raw signal analysis from Oxford Nanopore platforms, and physiological signal analysis. Because I work across both experimental genomics and computational analysis, I can quickly diagnose issues at the interface between sequencing workflows and downstream data interpretation. I also take on biostatistics consulting work including experimental design, hypothesis testing, and grant-level analytical support. At BioCompute, I built a sequencing-based proof-of-concept system integrating native DNA workflows with a custom bioinformatics decoding pipeline developed from scratch, validated on real sequencing runs and contributing to a US patent filing where I am a named inventor. I also delivered genome assembly, methylation analysis, and structured analytical reporting to external customers. What I work with: - Next-generation sequencing (short- and long-read, WGS) - Oxford Nanopore (MinION Mk1B/Mk1D, PromethION; wet lab + analysis) - Genome assembly and annotation (bacterial and small genomes) - Variant analysis and mutation interpretation - Structural bioinformatics (AlphaFold, DSSP, molecular docking) - Modified-base and methylation analysis (pysam, modkit, SAMtools) - Time series and signal processing (FFT, ML-based approaches) - Physiological and biosignal data analysis - Biological image analysis (cell segmentation, microscopy, CV quantification) - Statistical modeling and biostatistics (regression, hypothesis testing, experimental data interpretation) - Lab automation (Opentrons-style JSON protocol systems) - Python bioinformatics pipelines (Linux, Bash) - Containerized and reproducible workflows (Docker, Snakemake) - API-driven data pipelines and backend integrations Tools and technologies: - Python scientific stack (NumPy, SciPy, Pandas, scikit-learn) - Deep learning (PyTorch, TensorFlow) - Image/video analysis (OpenCV, scikit-image) - Docker, Snakemake - Linux, Bash, REST APIs, JSON-based services Wet lab and experimental consulting: Experimental design for sequencing-based studies. Troubleshooting PCR, cloning, library prep, and sequencing workflows. Guidance on protein expression and molecular cloning workflows. Connecting wet lab outputs with downstream computational analysis. Genomics research and analytical consulting: Technical and market research on genomics and sequencing technologies. Variant impact assessment and interpretation workflows. Literature analysis and publication mapping. Translating computational outputs into structured reports and slide decks for both technical and non-technical stakeholders. What you get: - Reproducible, well-documented bioinformatics workflows - Systems-level thinking across wet lab and computational layers - Clear outputs with strong attention to data integrity - Fast turnaround If you're working with sequencing data, complex biological signals, clinical or experimental datasets, or need grant-level analytical support, let's talk.
