Hey I'm Yannik ๐Ÿช โ–ธ I landed $2M+ in contracts with BP, Shell, and NATO by building ML systems for a pipeline inspection company โ–ธ I've generated $35K for a YouTube agency through an N8N reporting automation โ–ธ I built a voice AI MVP for a therapy startup โ–ธ I'm also a PhD in theoretical physics But don't worry โ€“ I speak human. I get obsessed with details so you don't have to. Build it right, make it work, explain how to use it. That's it. Let's talk about your project.

Iโ€™m a bioinformatics specialist with deep expertise in multi-omics, advanced statistics, and data-driven computational biology. I build end-to-end analysis pipelines, machine-learning workflows, and full-stack analytical applications tailored for research and biotech. My core strengths include: โ€ข Multi-omics analysis: bulk & single-cell RNA-seq, ATAC-seq, proteomics, lipidomics, metabolomics, cytokine panels, and integrative multi-omics modeling (MOFA, DIABLO, WGCNA, chromVAR, network analysis). โ€ข Advanced statistics & computational methods: differential analysis, mixed effects models, longitudinal designs, batch correction, feature selection, Bayesian modeling, and high-dimensional inference. โ€ข Machine learning & AI: supervised and unsupervised learning, classification, clustering, feature engineering, model tuning, and interpretable ML for biological and clinical datasets. โ€ข Python and R engineering: reproducible pipelines, notebooks, renv/venv environments, optimized code, data wrangling, visualization, and automation (tidyverse, DESeq2, Seurat, limma, sklearn, PyTorch-light workflows). โ€ข Biostatistics & data science: rigorous data QC, exploratory analysis, normalization, imputation, effect estimation, and publication-ready figures. โ€ข Full-stack app design & dashboards: R Shiny, Plotly Dash, Streamlit, FastAPI back ends, and modern front-end development using React, Vite, Tailwind, component libraries, and API-driven architectures. I build clean, fast, and interactive tools for analytics, reporting, and client use. I deliver production-ready, reproducible, and well-documented workflows suitable for research labs, startups, and clinical projects. At the tail end of my skill set, I also support small-scale computational chemistry tasks including virtual screening, molecular dynamics, and light drug-design workflows, when relevant to biological findings. If you need a bioinformatics expert who merges strong statistical foundations, robust coding, full-stack development, and deep domain knowledge, I can take your project from raw data to polished, actionable insight.
