Summary
Evan R is a Senior Software Engineer with 13 years of multidisciplinary experience, currently building production systems at Embark Veterinary. He blends backend engineering (Python, Kotlin, SQL/Postgres) with reproducible data pipelines and workflow tooling (Snakemake, Docker, AWS) to deliver robust, data-driven features. A former plant breeding MS and genomics data steward at Cornell, he brings domain expertise in genomics data management and a practiced ability to translate user requirements into shipping software. Comfortable in CI/CD and infrastructure-as-code environments (GitHub Actions, Prisma), he often bridges research and product teams to drive quality releases. Known on GitHub as the light house keeper at Null Island, he pairs curiosity and practicality—equally at home scripting in Bash as building web services with Flask/Quart.
