Programming

I am hooked to open-source software development, an ambitious outgrowth of my personal interests to create free (as in freedom!) and open-source content.

I have learned a lot by contributing to these projects:

• Sequenceserver
• WIGI and WIGI-website
• Afra

Languages I use: Python, Ruby, Javascript, HTML/CSS, MATLAB, BASH.

Science

A significant amount of my time is spent in nurturing my orientation towards research through undergraduate projects, writing term papers, attending conferences and doing relevant internships.

As this blog develops, I plan to write several primer articles on topics in my areas of interest.

Coming soon

Lastly, a record of my public published or in progress work:
