Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolCarlos Borroto is a Principal Engineer with over 15 years of bioinformatics and software engineering experience, currently shaping infrastructure and delivery at GeneDx. He combines hands-on pipeline engineering (Cromwell/WDL, GATK), backend web services (Django, DRF, Flask), and cloud architecture to operationalize genomic workflows for clinical and research use. His background spans academia, biotech, and startups, where he led teams building sample-to-result pipelines, variant annotation services, and gene-curation knowledgebases. Trained with a Master in Bioinformatics from Johns Hopkins, he brings deep domain expertise in computational genomics and a practical focus on reproducible, production-grade analysis. Unusually for a principal engineer, he still codes core pipeline components and evaluates emerging cloud solutions personally, bridging research needs with scalable clinical operations.
