Clinical scientist, molecular technologist, software builder, and Recombinase artist based in Denver.
I have worked across clinical genomics, molecular pathology, assay validation, high-throughput testing, laboratory operations, and scientific documentation.
I build software and AI-assisted workflows around the places where laboratory work becomes difficult to operate, review, or explain. My current work includes supervised desktop automation, NGS planning software, bioinformatics tools, and local AI systems.
Recombinase is the same practice applied to music, moving image, generative media, and code-based art.
