About Me
I currently work as a Cheminformatics Data Scientist at Drug Hunter, where I build, optimize, and automate data offerings for pharmaceutical clients utilizing python-based cheminformatics tools (RDKit), AWS-based cloud storage, and statistical analyses (classical and bayesian). I formally worked as a Scientific Integration Engineer at OpenEye Cadence Molecular Sciences in Santa Fe, New Mexico, where I developed custom python drug discovery solutions for pharmaceutical customers utilizing OpenEye toolkits, AWS integration, and Docker.
I earned my PhD with Dr. Sara Walker (Arizona State University), Dr. Leroy Cronin (Univerisity of Glasgow) and Dr. Darryl Reano (ASU) in May 2023. I utilized network science, cheminformatics, and curriculum development tools to (1) predict chemical complexity over time, (2) detect unambiguous biosignatures of life elsewhere using mass spectrometry, and (3) teach earth science to incarcerated high school students.
This website highlights my current research, publications, and ongoing projects as part of my PhD research. It also highlights my teaching experience and running pursuits.
