Summary
Iman Mohtashemi is a Senior Director of Data Engineering in Palo Alto with over two decades of deep domain expertise at the intersection of LC-MS proteomics, bioinformatics, and cloud-native data engineering. He architects and leads scalable, serverless proteomics analysis platforms and automated lab ecosystems—combining hands-on algorithm R&D for spectrum- and peptide-centric workflows with production-grade AWS deployments using Lambda, Step Functions, ECS/Fargate and event-driven pipelines. His career spans R&D, product launches and commercial operations at companies like Thermo Fisher and Seer, where his work enabled intelligent acquisition systems and federated multi-vendor instrument pipelines at petabyte scale. Trained in molecular biology and computer science with an MBA, he uniquely bridges wet-lab insight and software engineering to translate complex LC-MS problems into robust, high-availability cloud solutions. An underrated strength is his track record of migrating classical signal-processing and discovery algorithms into modern distributed architectures, reducing manual intervention across end-to-end proteomics workflows.
