Summary
Julian Tonti-filippini is a software engineer and informatics generalist with 11 years’ experience building scientific applications, full-stack web systems, and data engineering pipelines across academia, government, and research institutes. He combines a PhD in epigenomics with hands-on skills in NodeJS, C/C++, SQL, cloud platforms (AWS/Azure/GCloud) and containerized deployment, enabling reproducible, production-ready solutions for computational biology and research analytics. Recent work focuses on integrating and customizing generative AI (RAG/GPT) into business workflows and research evaluation systems, notably contributing to the Research Impact Evaluation System at Curtin. Julian’s background spans genomics, GIS, and ecoinformatics, and he brings a rare mix of deep scientific rigour and pragmatic engineering — C “when it gets serious” — tempered by interests in high-frequency trading and aviation (CPL-qualified). He is adept at turning complex domain requirements into automated, scalable pipelines and systems that bridge research and operational use.
