Summary
Garrett Birkel is a Computer Systems Engineer with a decade of experience building data capture, analysis, and build/test infrastructure across biotech, research labs, and industry. He’s led end-to-end projects from lab information management systems and beamline data interfaces to large-scale build automation and QA platforms, often as an early or sole engineer driving architecture and delivery. Comfortable with APIs, pipelines, and visualization, he blends practical systems engineering with domain knowledge in biological data processing and mapping. Based in Emeryville, he pairs curiosity about machine learning and 2D/3D mapping with offbeat interests—bicycles and cats—that reflect a pragmatic, hands-on approach to solving complex problems.
