I specialize in microbial comparative genomics to build user-friendly, scalable bioinformatics tools. My work focuses on bridging the gap between raw genomic/multi-omics data and actionable biological insights, particularly in the fields of comparative genomics, food science, and (veterinary) pathology.

Key Expertise

  • Comparative & Pan-Genome Analysis: Developing and applying novel computational methods (e.g., Scoary2) to associate microbial pan-genomes with phenotypic and multi-omics data.
  • Bioinformatics Tool & Platform Development: Designing and building scalable, dataset-independent web platforms (e.g., Arx / OpenGenomeBrowser, winner of the 2023 SIB Innovative Resource Award) for interactive genome data management and visualization.
  • Startup: I founded the startup Abrinca Genomics to bring Arx (ex OpenGenomeBrowser) to market.

Go-To Tools & Platforms

  • Microbial comparative genomics (Arx/OpenGenomeBrowser, Scoary2, OrthoFinder, BCG discovery, etc.)
  • Python, containerization (e.g. Docker), SQL, JavaScript
  • Custom advanced interactive visualizations
  • Full stack development (nginx, Django/Flask, Postgres, etc)

Mission

I am dedicated to developing user-friendly, scalable tools that transform complex microbial 'omics and pan-genome data into reproducible, actionable biological insights.
