Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolAustin Hartman is a computational biologist and PhD student in the San Francisco Bay Area with a decade of experience at the intersection of software engineering and single-cell genomics. He’s contributed full-stack code to the widely used Seurat R toolkit—adding load functions and spatial analysis features—bridging data-processing logic with visualization improvements. His background includes roles at the New York Genome Center and 10x Genomics where he focused on production-grade computational biology tools and test engineering. Comfortable moving between research and engineering, he combines rigorous academic training with practical experience shipping reproducible bioinformatics software. An often-overlooked strength is his attention to documentation and plotting ergonomics, which improves usability for downstream scientists.
