Turning your complex biological data into drug discovery insights.
I'm a computational biologist with a PhD in Structural Bioinformatics and Biophysics, 10+ peer-reviewed publications, and years of hands-on research at the intersection of molecular modeling, OMICS, and cancer biology. I help biotech startups, pharma teams, CROs, and academic spin-offs turn raw data into clear, actionable results — without the cost and commitment of a full-time hire.
My background spans both the structural world (proteins, RNA, molecular simulations) and the data-intensive world of genomics and transcriptomics. This dual expertise means I can follow the biology end-to-end: from a patient's genome to the 3D structure of the drug target to the atomic-level simulation of drug binding. Very few consultants cover this full spectrum.
── GENOMICS & VARIANT ANALYSIS ──
WGS and WES analysis to identify disease-causing mutations, pharmacogenomic markers, and risk variants. Fully annotated variant reports with pathogenicity scoring, population frequency filtering, and clinical significance assessment.
── TRANSCRIPTOMICS & RNA-SEQ ──
Bulk RNA-Seq, single-cell/single-nucleus (scRNA-Seq, snRNA-Seq), and spatial transcriptomics (Visium, MERFISH, Xenium). Differential expression, pathway enrichment, gene ontology networks, cell-type annotation, trajectory analysis — all delivered with publication-quality figures and biological interpretation.
── NON-CODING RNA (ncRNA) ──
miRNA target prediction, lncRNA functional annotation, small RNA-Seq analysis, siRNA/ASO off-target screening, and ncRNA expression profiling. Critical for RNA therapeutics — and a service very few bioinformatics freelancers offer.
── STRUCTURAL BIOINFORMATICS (PROTEIN & RNA) ──
My core training. 3D structure prediction and modeling for both proteins and RNA (AlphaFold, RoseTTAFold, RNAfold, FARFAR2). Molecular docking (protein-ligand and RNA-ligand), virtual screening, binding site analysis, and mRNA structure optimization. Working on both protein AND RNA targets is a genuine rarity in this market.
── MOLECULAR DYNAMICS & QM/MM ──
Full atomistic MD (GROMACS, AMBER, NAMD, OpenMM) for drug binding stability, binding free energies, conformational landscapes, and cryptic pocket discovery. QM/MM calculations for reaction mechanisms and electronic-level binding insights. All running on dedicated GPU-accelerated HPC workstations — enabling simulations most consultants cannot handle.
── ANTIBODY COMPUTATIONAL ANALYSIS ──
Structure modeling, CDR optimization, antibody-antigen docking, humanization, developability prediction. De novo sequence design via inverse folding (ProteinMPNN) — given a desired backbone geometry, I generate optimized sequences for rational CDR redesign and novel antibody engineering.
── MULTI-OMICS & PIPELINES ──
Integration of genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, and epigenomics into unified biological narratives. Automated, containerized pipelines (Nextflow, Snakemake, Docker) for reproducible analysis at scale.
── WHY CLIENTS CHOOSE TO WORK WITH ME ──
→ End-to-end delivery. Interpreted results, publication-quality figures, clear narratives — ready for investors, grants, regulatory submissions, or journals. Not raw tables.
→ Serious infrastructure. Dedicated GPU-accelerated HPC for large-scale virtual screening, long MD/QM-MM trajectories, and genome-wide analyses.
→ Full spectrum, one contact. Genomics to molecular dynamics to pipeline automation — no need to coordinate multiple freelancers.
→ Fast start, iterative delivery. Most projects begin within days. You see progress throughout, with no final dump to deal with.
→ Confidentiality & IP protection. I routinely handle proprietary compounds, unpublished structures, and preclinical data. Fully comfortable with NDAs and data handling agreements. All deliverables and code are yours — clean IP transfer, no strings attached.
I work with preclinical-stage biotechs, academic spin-offs, CROs needing white-label bioinformatics, and AI-driven drug discovery companies. Whether it's a one-off analysis, a multi-month engagement, or a standing retainer — let's talk.

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
