Summary
Harish Sethuram is a data scientist with 11 years of engineering and research experience, currently building ML models for DNA-based relationship prediction at Ancestry. He combines a computational biology background with deep learning and LLM expertise, having built an LLM-driven bioinformatics coding assistant at the Broad Institute that automates workflow generation and execution. His academic work in gene regulation at UC San Diego produced scalable HPC and Galaxy workflows that uncovered ~2,000 novel transcription factor binding sites in algae. Earlier roles span computer vision for autonomous navigation and full-stack software engineering at Amazon, reflecting a rare blend of production-grade systems design and wet-lab-aware bioinformatics. Based in California, he’s comfortable moving models from research to large-scale production datasets and enjoys “seeing the world through the eyes of a machine.”
