About

Bioinformatician working on single-cell RNA-seq analysis of human disease. Python + Scanpy. Interested in neurodegeneration and cancer immunology.

Experience

AI Data Generation Specialist

Wave Break Media, Cork, Ireland

• Designed and deployed scalable AI-driven workflow automation systems for high-volume document generation, quality assurance, and structured data production, contributing to the successful delivery of nearly 3,000 approved outputs across multiple production batches.

• Developed advanced prompt-engineering frameworks, validation pipelines, and rule-based governance systems that improved output consistency, traceability, and production efficiency in large-scale AI-assisted workflows.

Bioinformatician (Remote)

BioTecNika, Bangalore, India

• Developed and validated an automated machine learning pipeline using QSAR techniques to predict anti-tubercular efficacy, enhancing both prediction speed and accuracy.

• Developed and implemented sophisticated prompt engineering strategies and automation workflows that significantly increased production efficiency and document quality, successfully completing 82+ client tasks totalling 246+ documents delivered.

Clinical Research Associate (CRA) - Biopharmaceutical Research

Sunway University, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia

• Conducted drug discovery studies on anti-Acanthamoeba Benzothiazines, applying qPCR, cytotoxicity, and molecular assays to evaluate compound efficacy.

• Monitored lab operations, including purchase orders, chemical stocks, consumables, and inventory, maintaining full GLP compliance.

• Maintained and cryopreserved multiple human and amoeba cell lines (HeLa, HEK-293, SH-SY5Y), ensuring cell viability and integrity for research continuity.

Conservation & Biodiversity Researcher

Tropical Rainforest Conservation and Research Centre, Malaysia

• Restored habitats by planting 500 native species and supporting riparian ecosystem recovery, enhancing local biodiversity and ecosystem resilience.

• Monitored and documented rare and endangered Malaysian plant species, contributing data to conservation initiatives and reporting findings to local authorities.
