This website is intended as a demonstration project—a way to showcase some of my skills and past work—rather than a fully developed, production-ready site. I’ve designed it to give a clearer, more practical picture of what I can do than a traditional résumé or CV alone could provide. My professional background includes over a decade of work in molecular biology and enology. I have also completed bioinformatics work at the master’s level, and during my master’s thesis—working in collaboration with a software engineer—I developed a genome and proteome mining application. Over the years, I’ve authored multiple web pages (including this one) as the public-facing component of various projects I’ve been involved with. While Linux networking isn’t part of my formal professional history, it has been a dedicated hobby since 1999, and I’ve achieved a high level of skill for an amateur. In addition, I’ve done some software development in Python and Java. While I would not present myself as a professional software engineer, some of the applications I’ve created—described in the bioinformatics section of this site—reflect my ability to develop functional, task-oriented software tools.
