Summary
Armando Reimer is a Senior Data Scientist and biophysicist based in Oakland with 11 years of experience applying microscopy, computational image analysis, and quantitative modeling to biological questions. He blends academic rigor from a UC Berkeley Ph.D. with hands-on lab experience in transcriptional dynamics, synthetic biology, and biophysical assays to turn complex imaging data into actionable insights. At Ultima Genomics he has translated those skills into production-grade data science for genomics technologies, bridging wet-lab intuition with scalable computational workflows. Armando’s background in both physics and cell/molecular biology gives him a rare cross-disciplinary fluency, enabling tight collaboration with experimental teams while advancing algorithmic approaches. Colleagues describe him as someone who pairs deep theoretical understanding with pragmatic engineering to get models out of the notebook and into impact.
