Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolGrigorios Koulouras is a Manager and scientific software engineer with nine years of experience building computational tools at the intersection of bioinformatics, proteomics, and applied life-science research. He has led and shipped production-grade scientific software at Pfizer and developed widely used research applications such as easyFRAP-web and computational resources like nullomers.org during research appointments. Comfortable across languages and stacks, he blends full‑stack development, statistical/mathematical modeling (e.g., Markovian models for genomic motifs), and data‑intensive pipelines to deliver reproducible tools for labs and facilities. His background spans academia and industry—from developing proteomics facility software to Android and enterprise systems—giving him a rare mix of experimental-methods empathy and engineering rigor. Based in Thessaloniki, Greece, he is a pragmatic leader who translates complex biological questions into maintainable, production-ready software. An under-the-radar strength is his track record of turning niche research analyses into accessible web services that broaden impact beyond their originating labs.
