Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolElais Player is a Staff Software Engineer with 11 years of experience building end-to-end software for bioscience, finance, and research organizations from Oakland, CA. Currently writing Python for the JAWS team at the Joint Genome Institute, he previously helped deliver web front ends, visualizations, and workflow automation at Los Alamos during the global SARS-CoV-2 response. Comfortable across the stack, he has maintained legacy systems, led full-stack development for BBVA Compass, and migrated research-grade algorithms into production at NIH and university labs. Colleagues describe him as pragmatic and candid—he’ll tell you a language is only "ergonomic" when it earns that badge in practice—and he prefers shipping impact over polishing hypotheticals. His background in political science and an MS in Computer and Information Sciences give him a rare mix of analytical rigor and systems thinking useful in multidisciplinary teams.
