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.
— 23 peer-reviewed publications · 455 citations (Google Scholar, checked Aug 2026). 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.
