About jason

Experienced programmer interested in the intersection of bioscience and artificial intelligence/machine learning. Formal training in Chemical Engineering, with work experience in applying machine learning and statistical models to biological systems ranging from proteins to high-throughput RNA sequencing. Past projects include modeling protein-ligand interactions with natural language processing (NLP) models, predicting RNA splicing using generalized linear models (GLMs), building gene/protein databases, and developing a RNA-seq data processing pipeline. Recently returned from a 2-year sabbatical traveling the world, where I traveled to 22 countries across 3 continents, hiked over 2000 miles along some of the world's most majestic mountain ranges, and dived with sharks, dolphins, rays, and turtles.
