At Aclid, I work primarily on the bioinformatics pipeline that backs our screening application for synthetic biology manufacturers. This includes managing many parts of our cloud infrastructure, building and maintaining our database of nucleotide and protein data, and enhancing our screening analysis pipeline.
On the bioinformatics team at Revvity, my primary role is to continue to automate analysis processes for bench scientists to better understand their experiments. I also spend significant time on data science problems, algorithm development and visualization. Our team works in an Agile environment, working in dynamic and cross functional teams.
As a part of the University of Colorado, Anschutz Medical Campus, I work within the medical image phenotyping lab as a research assistant. Within the lab, I was developing a geometric modelling framework to learn and predict cranial growth in normal and abnormal pediatric patients based on CT images of children.
For the fall semester of 2020, I was a teaching assistant in the department of biostatistics and informatics for two courses, R for Data Science (BIOS 6640) and Advanced Data Analysis (6623). This included teaching, hosting weekly office hours, and grading.
At Teton Simulation Software, I worked under the team's software architect on two major projects. The first was to build a unit cell used in finite element analysis for the cubic infill pattern (pictured right). This project involved learning finite element analysis from a former mechanical engineering professor at the University of Wyoming, who serves as an advisor to the company. I then took that knowledge and applied it to the cubic unit cell. The development for the cube was done primarily using C++, within the teams existing code base. This included building the geometry, meshing, defining coordinate systems, bounding the cube, and writing unit tests for the cube.
The second project I worked on with the development team at Teton was to explore a more uniform meshing strategy for all of the existing infill pattern unit cells. This meant doing an analysis of the performance of varying mesh densities, and using that analysis to develop a better and more predictable mesh for each periodic infill unit cell within the existing code base.
For IMPACT 307, I worked as an intern helping start-up companies with marketing, and general business solutions. The goal of IMPACT 307 is to foster entrepreneurial growth in Wyoming. It was at this internship that I was introduced to the founders of the company Teton Simulation Software.
As an undergraduate student at the University of Wyoming, I worked for over three years in various positions for the tennis team and indoor tennis facility. I started as a front desk attendant answering the phone, handling members transactions, and janitorial responsibilities. I was promoted after a year and a half to team manager, where I gained some additional responsibilities pertaining to the women's varsity tennis team, as well as managed the front desk at the indoor tennis facility.
