Hello, I'm
MSc Biotechnology · BSc Data Science
About me
I'm a master's student in Biotechnology at Offenburg University and Data Science at IIT Madras, with a background spanning wet lab research, clinical sample processing, and computational analysis. My work sits at the intersection of molecular biology and data engineering — building pipelines that turn raw sequencing data into interpretable biology.
Reproducibility in transcriptomics is something I care about seriously. Most of my projects are structured around parameterised, containerised workflows — where swapping a dataset or threshold produces a new result set without rewriting anything. That principle runs through everything from my Nextflow DSL2 pipeline to my DESeq2 analysis scripts.
I'm currently seeking working student or HiWi positions in bioinformatics or R&D in Germany. I work well in cross-functional teams and am comfortable moving between the bench and the terminal. Feel free to reach out.
My work
A selection of things I've built.
End-to-end transcriptomics analysis of zearalenone exposure in rainbow trout. Covers de novo assembly (89.3% BUSCO), Salmon quantification, DESeq2 differential expression with parameterised thresholds, and ongoing functional enrichment with clusterProfiler. Built for reproducibility — one pipeline, any dataset.
A fully containerised Nextflow DSL2 pipeline with 5 modular subflows — QC through Trinity assembly, Salmon quantification, TransDecoder/DIAMOND annotation, and result integration. Validated against the Pasilla benchmark dataset. ARM64 and x86_64 compatible; runs locally, on HPC, or AWS Batch.
Random Forest classifiers trained on molecular fingerprints derived from SMILES representations using PubChem and ChEMBL data. Descriptors extracted via PaDEL-Descriptor; feature selection and model evaluation with scikit-learn.
Full-stack web application built for IIT Madras. Features role-based access, async job scheduling with Celery Beat, Redis caching, and a Vue.js frontend. Includes REST API design, background task orchestration, and deployment configuration.
