Hi there, I'm Maia and I'm looking to contribute as a software developer. My skillset comes from evolutionary genetics, with a masters in computational biology and having worked in biotech as a software developer for the last few years. I am not bound to bioinformatics or the health field; in fact I would love to explore new domains and companies.Prioritizing: * Strong technical leadership: past teams have shown me that I value this more than the product. * Team dynamics and processes: several people working together, with regular feedback and opportunities for growth (eg: pairing, code review, prototyping new ideas). * Exploring medium to larger companies after working at two startups to try something different.
Other related skills/knowledge I have: * Biology and health: largely cancer research implemented in clinical applications such as variant discovery, filtering, annotation in human genome/exome. Some phylogenetics and comparative genomics between species (plants, protists). * Math/statistics/machine learning: participated in several project throughout graduate school, developed some as part of industry work, attended workshops and gave guest lectures (eg: AI in health)
I'm taking my time to learn about the space and would love to hear from you if you have tips to share in addition to jobs and hiring opportunities. I am not currently interested in part-time or contract work.
