I am a PhD bioinformatician with over a decade of hands-on experience transforming raw biological data into publication-ready results. My work sits at the intersection of molecular OMICs, computational biology, and applied biodiscovery — and I bring that same rigor to every freelance engagement. My background spans the full NGS pipeline stack: de novo transcriptome assembly, bulk and single-cell RNA-seq, shotgun proteomics, proteogenomics, phylogenetics, and bioactive peptide discovery. I am particularly experienced with non-model and marine organisms — a genuinely rare specialization that most bioinformatics labs lack in-house. A few highlights that set me apart: — Published tool developer. I am the author of SeqLengthPlot v2.0 (Bioinformatics Advances, 2024), a widely-used FASTA sequence visualization tool, and FiltDeTox, a Python tool for filtering and validating toxin candidates in venomics pipelines. I don't just run pipelines — I build them. — 43 peer-reviewed publications · 413 citations. My work has appeared in ACS Omega, Toxins, npj Biofilms & Microbiomes, IJMS, and Frontiers in Microbiology. I know what publication-quality analysis looks like, and I deliver exactly that. — Private HPC infrastructure. I run analyses on a dual-node Xeon workstation (160 threads, 384 GB RAM, 9 TB storage), which means I can handle large datasets — whole-genome assemblies, large-scale proteomics runs, multi-sample RNA-seq cohorts — without cloud compute costs passed on to you. — Research Fellow, Stazione Zoologica Anton Dohrn, Naples (2024–2026, concluded January 2026). Most recently I led proteotranscriptomic characterization of deep-sea cnidarian venoms within the CRIMAC DEEPVEN project funded by the Italian Ministry of University and Research. What I can do for you: - RNA-seq analysis (bulk, single-cell, de novo assembly, differential expression, pathway enrichment) - Proteomics and proteogenomics (MaxQuant, Perseus, FragPipe, R-based downstream analysis) - NGS pipelines (WGS, WES, variant calling, genome assembly) - Bioactive peptide and AMP discovery (in silico, end-to-end) - Phylogenetic and evolutionary analysis (IQ-TREE, BEAST, molecular clocks) - Custom Python/R/Bash pipeline development - Scientific writing, manuscript editing, and data interpretation I work in English, Spanish, and Portuguese — which is a practical advantage if your team or collaborators operate in Iberia or Latin America. I deliver clean, documented, reproducible analyses. If you share your data and a clear goal, I take it from there.

I specialize in language, communication, and AI-related content, combining my background in linguistics, teaching, and real-world customer interaction. With a degree in Portuguese and English Studies and a CELTA certification from Cambridge, I have developed strong skills in linguistic analysis, cross-cultural communication, and content evaluation. My work focuses on how meaning, tone, and nuance are constructed — especially in contexts involving interaction between humans and language models. I have experience in teaching and customer-facing roles, which allows me to understand language not only from a theoretical perspective but also in real-world communication. This helps me evaluate clarity, intent, and naturalness in written content. I am particularly interested in: - Language model training and evaluation - Content annotation and refinement - Translation (English ↔ Portuguese) - Proofreading and linguistic review I bring attention to detail, cultural sensitivity, and a critical approach to language. If you're looking for someone who understands both the structure and the subtlety of communication, I’d be glad to contribute to your project.

Quality Assurance and Content Specialist focused on AI Language Model Alignment and Evaluation. I leverage expert-level linguistic precision in Hebrew (Native) and English to execute structured QA protocols, specializing in RLHF evaluation, prompt design, and identifying nuanced patterns in model behavior. My approach combines analytical rigor with a deep commitment to quality and cultural consistency. My background as a Clinical Art Therapist (M.A., Summa Cum Laude) provides a unique advantage: I bring advanced diagnostic and systematic thinking to the technical domain. This perspective helps me analyze the complex "gaps" between abstract human intent and structured linguistic systems, ensuring the AI output is not just technically correct, but truly aligned with high human standards.
