Senior🎓
Top SchoolGuoying Qi is a software engineer and bioinformatician with 10+ years of experience building production-grade pipelines that integrate large-scale proteomics and 3D structure data into UniProt. Based at Cambridge, she combines a PhD in biomathematics/bioinformatics with strong production skills in Java, Python, Perl, SQL, Solr, Docker, Kubernetes and cloud/DevOps to deliver backend APIs and deployable services. At EMBL-EBI she architected and maintained data ingestion and search pipelines (Solr, Voldemort) and established CI/CD flows to run UniProt services on VMs and cloud. Her background in core sequencing at the Wellcome Sanger Institute and academic research on protein domain dynamics gives her a rare blend of deep biological insight and practical software engineering. Colleagues rely on her for turning complex biological data into robust, scalable systems that power community resources.
