Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolIvan Topolsky is a software developer and medical doctor turned bioinformatician with 11+ years of experience building analysis pipelines and imaging/clinical research tools. Currently at ETH Zurich he develops V-pipe for viral NGS analysis, and his background spans genomics, proteomics, medical imaging and server administration—combining C/C++, Perl/R programming with system-level skills like LXC and DRBD. He has a master in proteomics & bioinformatics and a track record automating pipelines at major Swiss institutions (SIB Vital-IT, UNIGE), plus consulting on large-scale medical imaging databases. Comfortable bridging clinical and computational teams, he brings uncommon domain depth from hands-on lab work and clinical duties to production software delivery. An early adopter of GPGPU for mass-spec acceleration and a contributor to teaching-focused imaging tools, he blends research curiosity with pragmatic engineering.
