Let me introduce myself.

Profile Picture

I am a Bioinformatics Engineer and Computational Biologist with 7+ years of experience building scalable analysis pipelines and software for genomics data. I currently work at Plasmidsaurus, where I develop and productionize bioinformatics workflows for bacterial genomics, RNA-seq, Illumina metagenomics, and small variant calling.
I completed my PhD and postdoctoral research at the University of California, Irvine in the Mortazavi Lab, where I worked on bulk and single-cell RNA-seq, Multiome, Perturb-seq, DNA methylation, and gene program analysis across projects such as Model-AD, ENCODE, and IGVF.
My work combines bioinformatics, software engineering, cloud-native workflow systems, and AI-enabled tooling to turn complex sequencing analysis into robust and reproducible products.
Out of work, I enjoy spending time with our kittens, camping, hiking, and cooking Persian dishes.
