Bioinformatics Programmer
Peoria, Arizona, United States
Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolJake Wendt is a seasoned bioinformatics programmer with 15 years of experience bridging astronomical data reduction, scientific programming, and modern bioinformatics workflows. He has a strong history building and maintaining data pipelines and web applications—spanning IDL, Perl, C, Ruby on Rails and cloud-native tools like AWS EC2/S3/Batch—at institutions including UC Berkeley, UC San Francisco and UNR. Comfortable on both observatory-style data processing and biomedical sequencing projects, he combines hands-on instrument/observer sensibilities with rigorous software engineering and HIPAA-aware data management. After a period focused on web development, he is seeking to return to science-first roles where computation serves discovery rather than being an end in itself. Based in Peoria, AZ, he pairs practical systems experience (including SLURM clusters and large archival data work for SOHO/INTEGRAL) with a pragmatic, service-oriented approach to research software.
