Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolDev G is a computational biologist and software engineer with 11 years of technical experience, currently contributing to cancer omics at the Broad Institute while pursuing research roots in ML and genomics from UC San Diego. He pairs production-grade backend engineering—refactoring and improving consensus and blockchain codebases like Tendermint and Cosmos SDK—with cryptographic research work on STARKs and arkworks libraries. Comfortable across embedded systems, motion planning, and bioinformatics, he moves easily between low-level performance fixes and high-level algorithmic design. An active open-source contributor, his commits emphasize code clarity, documentation, and correctness in widely used projects that underpin blockchain and SNARK ecosystems. Notably, he combines applied cancer data science with a sustained interest in scaling blockchains and competitive security work through CTFs.
