I have a Ph.D. in Biology | Genomics and Bioinformatics. During my time in biology/bioinformatics labs, I started to develop informatics tools to help me in my daily lab work but also as a hobby to host services on my own server at home. This eventually led me to join the CENTURI Multi-Engineering Platform.

As a research engineer within the CENTURI MEP my role is provide guidance and assistance as well as to collaborate with scientific teams on software development and system administration projects.

My work also consists in maintaining and developing the platform's storage/computing infrastructure to keep it up-to-date and to evolve it with the platform's needs.

My bioinformatics background and my hands-on experience with multiple tools in the Makerspace allow me to act as a bridge in different projects.
