I'm interested in all the ways technology can capture, quantify and copy humans behavior. I build features that keep Respondent's research marketplace going and occasionally ones that bring it down :D
At Benchling, I played a key role in enhancing our lab automation tools, empowering R&D teams in biology to manage and analyze experimental data at scale. My focus was on designing and optimizing systems for the ingestion, transformation, and processing of complex lab instrument data, enabling more meaningful data capture to support experimentation, collaboration, and compliance.
Key Responsibilities:
•
Developed and maintained tools for bulk ingestion and transformation of tabular data from various lab instruments, ensuring seamless integration with Benchling's laboratory systems of record.
•
Implemented and supported data pipelines to import and normalize data from customer-hosted sources, including laboratory computers and cloud-based systems.
•

Maintain and expand Respondent's back-end databases - MongoDB and Neo4J - of platform users
•
Responsible for the matching algorithm infrastructure that delivers highly targeted paid research studies to our users
•
Enriching data on existing user profiles by leveraging their online social data, activity on the platform, public data for eg. information on employers etc, as well as shared patterns/behaviors with other users.
•
Infrastructure for data collection and capturing of key marketplace/performance metrics for ~500 live projects, feeding charts/graphs to showcase time series data
Teaching two weekly seminars covering introductions to specialized topics in Computer Science such as Encryption, Biometrics, Network Theory to freshmen with little or no experience
•
Designing curriculum as well as coursework and presentation materials on specific problems within these disciplines
