Gabriel Abud is a Senior Software Engineer based in San Francisco with 11 years of experience building full-stack web applications and bioinformatics pipelines. He blends production-grade backend work in Python (FastAPI, Django) and PostgreSQL with modern TypeScript React frontends, and has driven testing and CI/CD practices across teams. His bioinformatics background includes building Nextflow pipelines and AWS Batch migrations for NGS data, giving him a rare fluency in both lab data workflows and large-scale web systems. At Meta and Tempo he shipped tooling to automate hardware and internal processes, and his open-source work—like a FastAPI+React cookiecutter that includes OAuth2/JWT auth and CI—reflects a focus on developer ergonomics. He’s comfortable translating complex scientific requirements into reliable, testable software and often surfaces process improvements that stick. Colleagues describe him as a pragmatic engineer who pairs curiosity about biology and ML with hands-on delivery.
