Colleen Rooney is a software engineer with 8 years of experience who blends a strong computational biology background with machine learning and production software at scale, currently building systems at Google. She holds an MS in Computer Science (ML track) from Portland State and transitioned from wet-lab and bioinformatics roles—where she assembled viral genomes and characterized novel extremophile viruses—into software engineering at Scisco Genetics and now Google. Comfortable moving between research and product engineering, she brings deep domain knowledge in genomics pipelines and practical experience deploying data-intensive code. Based in Boulder, CO, Colleen is adept at turning complex biological problems into reproducible, maintainable software solutions and is known for bridging interdisciplinary teams.
