Summary
Jacob Frelinger is a Site Reliability Engineer at Google with 18 years of experience blending systems administration, scientific programming, and computational biology. He transitioned from a PhD and postdoc in computational immunology to production-scale SRE work, bringing deep expertise in automated flow cytometry analysis, statistical modeling, and database and software design. Jacob is comfortable moving between research code and hardened operational systems, translating complex biological workflows into reproducible, maintainable pipelines. Based in Seattle, he pairs rigorous academic training with hands-on ops experience, making him adept at both developing analytical models and ensuring their reliable execution in large-scale environments. An underappreciated strength is his long history of end-to-end ownership—from instrument data through model development to server maintenance—bridging lab science and cloud reliability.
