Top SchoolGarrett Newman is a Senior Software Engineer with a decade of experience building reliable, automation-driven web platforms for biotech at Ginkgo Bioworks. He blends full-stack skills—React, Django, Ruby on Rails, GraphQL, and containerized deployments—with domain knowledge of lab automation, Autoprotocol, and foundry equipment integration. Garrett has driven reliability improvements that cut on-call load, led cross-system integrations between intent-based automation and service management, and trained users and teammates on complex scientific workflows. His background in electrical engineering and hands-on lab tooling (microfluidics, syringe pumps, and DNA cloning workflows) gives him a rare ability to bridge hardware, wet-lab processes, and production software. Based in Missouri, he continues to iterate on high-throughput automation platforms that make biological experimentation more scalable and auditable.
