I don't have a title, we are a pretty small company. I manage the systems, networks and our virtual environment. On the side I enjoy projects that don't include a keyboard or mouse like fixing old mopeds and dirtbikes. I'm currently restoring a 1996 Tomos Sprint moped I had when I was a kid.

#12I'm a product manager. Side project is building a genome data ingestion pipeline with my dad. We're both really passionate about giving people a faster and cheaper solution to processing genome data. Current project is to allow researchers to send fully sequenced genomes to our server, align the sequenced genome to a referenced genome, then store the data in a performant way that can be queried against. Right now, it…
Sounds interesting.

#14Full stack Software-Engineer.
Side project is a Toolkit for high productivity web-development in Go language built around the concept of code generation [1]. I'm using it for another side project (online start-up incubator platform).

#15Nominally software engineer, doing Devops but moving to a backend position. My main side project right now is building a software synthesiser in Rust

#17Javascript developer, mostly doing front end work and some node server side and for build scripts. Side projects (I've been trying to cut these down) are: 1) helping my brother with marketing a food catering business, 2) developing my product management skills 3) building a local food e-commerce site.
Before you say it, yes, I have a problem focusing.

Thanks. We're pretty excited about it. There's lots of big challenges to solve, especially on the data from. Full 30x coverage of a human genome is (uncompressed) around 180gb. So the core problem we're trying to solve right now is:
1) Compressing the files locally and sending via FTP to server
2) Aligning 180gb files against the reference genome (180gb also) in less than 5 minutes
3) Storing that data in a performant way so that you can do comparative genomics (compare multiple genomes against each other)
4) Do the above with 100's-1,000's of genomes a day.
It's pretty rewarding. Apart from the cool data side, it's feels good to know that building something like this could really help accelerate critical research in finding diseases.

Your revenue-producing side-projects are strangely inspiring. If you don't mind me asking, how do you market them?
