AWS HealthOmics

I'm a founding engineer for AWS HealthOmics, a new petabyte-scale storage and analysis platform for bioinformatics researchers and clinicians. We've enjoyed (and continue to enjoy) a nearly 2-year journey to take a once-ambitious idea at the intersection bioinformatics and the cloud, and go from 0 lines of code to General Availability.

Introduction to Object-Oriented Programming: Python

I'm the first author of an interactive, adaptive textbook for CSE 6R, a new fully-online introductory computer science course that is offered at campuses across the University of California. The text embraces an active-learning approach that challenges students to think critically and diagnose their own learning breakdowns.

Scriptor uses speech-to-text technology to process and index the UC San Diego Podcast System, allowing students to search for keywords and instantly be presented with precise timestamps in podcasts that match the information they want. Scriptor wraps this in a personalized interface, allowing users to favorite, save history, and more.
