Technologies: molecular biology, bottom up research of molecular pathways in the contexts of diseases or treatments/treatment strategies thereof focusing on chemotherapy and antivirals. Design, performance, analysis and biological interpretation of diverse bioassays, specialising in omics technologies. Systems analysis of multi-modal data and incorporating (molecular) biology data into AI models and platforms.

Other skills: Grant/paper writing, coordination between molecular biology and computational teams and communication with stakeholders.

I'm a seasoned molecular biologist with a doctorate from molecular medicine and over 12 years of professional experience in academic and industry settings, publications in top tier journals (Nature, Nat. Immunol, etc.) and patents. I specialise in research of chemotherapeutics and antivirals, and the pursuit or conceptualisation of their mechanisms and broader disease-limiting strategies. On technical side, my strong points include design (choice of a model, controls, assay parameters, etc.), analysis and interpretation of bioassays and omics, such as LC-MS/MS based proteomics and metabolomics of different flavours. I enjoy freelance work in addition to my primary academic employment and am looking for a way to maximize my impact by contributing to the growth of your ideas or helping you acquire the funding for them.

Hello! I am Donovan Preston. I first became heavily involved with programming and open source software through the Twisted Python project. I then went on to work on the bulk of the early code for eventlet. Python asyncio is now a part of the standard library, and I like to think that these projects influenced the direction of async programming in Python.

Later, I worked for Mozilla Research and then the Mozilla Services organizations. I helped with a project called dom.js (which now lives on as domino), implemented TCP and UDP apis for Firefox OS, worked on several experiments such as Firefox Screenshots (main developer at the beginning of the project) and Firefox Send (on the Android port). Finally, I worked on the port of the Firefox Sync server from Python to Rust. I gained extensive experience with ES.Next, React, TypeScript, and Rust.

Now, I have a small consultancy and have worked on several Swift apps, in addition to HTML/CSS and full stack web applications. I am looking to work on a team again and in-person is preferrable, although remote is ok.

  One-Liner: Automation Expert & Can Ship Fast

I've built applications in just about every language you can think of. In 2021 I built an algorithmic market making company in the NFT space. I scaled that to > $50M GMV in the first year. We traded tens of thousands of NFT's using the algorithms and systems I built. During that time I hosted services on just about every cloud provider, used a network of residential proxies, was constantly fighting evolving anti-scraping/botting tech, and built front end browser automations to place bids/buys on NFT marketplaces. Most recently I built a series of automations for a company that imports gourmet food from Europe into the US. This involved OCR of documents, using AI to automate various manual stages, and creating visibility dashboards for goods across the entire pipeline. Previously built 70+ mobile apps as well as worked with startups and larger orgs on frontier tech products.
