Senior🎓
Top SchoolBryan Cosca is a Test Engineer III with 11 years of experience building scalable, automated bioinformatics pipelines that process terabytes of genomic data across cloud platforms. Based in Somerville, MA, he has driven production bioinformatics at scale—from rebuilding pipelines for parallel genome processing to earning CAP certification for clinical workflows. At Ginkgo he led Agile practices for NGS bioinformatics, owned COVID-19 WGS automation that met >99% contractual TAT, and helped identify some of the earliest Omicron cases in the US. He blends hands-on pipeline engineering (Nextflow, CWL, WDL) with data delivery, visualization, and front-end summaries using tools like Jinja and Snowflake. Known for improving throughput and cutting costs via parallelization and multithreading, he also has experience consulting on LIMS curation and open-source tooling. Bryan’s uncommon combination of production ops, regulatory experience, and rapid-response pathogen surveillance makes him effective at turning complex genomic workflows into reproducible, auditable systems.
