Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolDouglas Myers-Turnbull is a research software engineer with 13 years of experience building data-rich, production-grade systems for drug discovery, computational biology, and cheminformatics. He blends deep computer science and software architecture skills with hands-on lab-facing engineering—designing instruments, ETL pipelines, APIs, and scalable microservices used in high-content screening and clinical sequencing. His work spans migrating HPC workflows to Kubernetes and GitOps, improving performance and maintainability of critical pipelines, and producing semantic molecular datasets for machine learning ingestion. At UCSF and SDSC he has coordinated small engineering teams, mentored researchers, and enabled reproducible, auditable data capture for regulated workflows. Based in San Diego, he pairs academic rigor (PhD in Bioinformatics) with practical delivery, often tackling the messy integration points between hardware, protocols, and cloud-native software.
