Alexander Ellingson is a data-driven Junior Project Manager in Round Rock, Texas, with 16 years of technical and research experience and seven years focused on data analysis, automation, and team coordination. He brings a rare blend of biomedical research training (MS in Biomedical Engineering and genomics/bioinformatics background) and hands-on reporting and analytics roles across healthcare and commercial settings. Comfortable translating complex data into actionable reports, he has driven reporting programs at Magnit and Trinity Healthcare Resources and now applies that rigour to project delivery at DISA Global Solutions. An active back-end contributor to the Rakudo and NQP open-source compilers, he has worked on language-level features and parser/grammar optimizations—evidence of deep technical curiosity beyond typical PM duties. Colleagues can expect a manager who pairs lab-honed experimental discipline with practical engineering contributions to improve tooling and processes.
