Description: I work with customers and internal teams to develop new or improve existing applications and analysis workflows for single molecule, long-read sequencing. I help my associates in sales and marketing turn proof of principle or pilot experiments into equipment sales or marketing collateral.
Accomplishments: developed and improved upon workflows for variant calling and phasing of PacBio circular consensus sequence data • collaborated with wet lab scientists to improve targeted capture sequencing protocol • provided data analysis solutions and expertise for multiple targeted sequencing collaborations

Description: I delivered high-quality next-generation sequencing data to our clients in a timely manner.
Accomplishments: with others in my team, guided the development of delivery and analysis pipeline enhancements • developed tools for tracking tasks and errors • data-driven process improvement • recognized for providing exceptional customer service

Previously:
Research Specialist (2013-2015)
Research Technician (2010-2013)

Department: Project Technical Resources (Sep 2012 - Sep 2015)
Description: I supported the research of the project teams and labs at Janelia by providing consultation, conducting experiments, analyzing data, and writing software.
Accomplishments: acted as liaison and translator between different disciplines • screened over 200 Drosophila melanogaster lines through high-throughput locomotor / optomotor / phototaxis assay • screened over 300 D. mel. lines through high-throughput olfactory assay • curated and analyzed data and metadata • aided in design of novel behavioral assays, including instrument design and testing, protocol refinement, and data analysis tools • wrote suite of tools for analysis of D. mel. activity / sleep data • wrote and maintained automated pipeline for fluorescence imagery analysis

Department: Fly Olympiad Team Project (Mar 2010 - Sep 2012)
Description: I investigated the role of individual neurons or groups of neurons in altering behavior by screening Drosophila melanogaster lines through high-throughput behavioral assays.
Accomplishments: acted as liaison and translator between different disciplines in large-scale scientific collaboration • screened over 2000 D. mel. lines through high-throughput locomotor / optomotor / phototaxis assay • aided in establishing guidelines for storing data and metadata • aided in establishing a more flexible scheme for describing line nomenclature and relationships
