About Me
I am a Genomic Breeding Scientist and Strategic Science Manager at Barenbrug where I lead the development and implementation of commercial genomic breeding and associated ‘omic’ technologies.
Interest and Skills
My expertise lies predominantly in the realm of 🧬 Genomics, with a specialised focus on Genomic Selection and Genomic Breeding, particularly in the context of plants 🌱. Proficient in bioinformatics 👨💻 , I am driven by a deep passion for the programming language.
My skill set extends to crafting robust cloud computing ☁️ environments tailored for both research and production pipelines. I take pleasure in orchestrating these systems with the precision of the Nextflow 🔂 workflow manager, and proudly serve as a Nextflow Ambassador. Through my technical endeavours, I am dedicated to advancing genomic research and breeding practices for a sustainable future.
