Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolJustin Vrana is a Senior Software Engineer with a PhD in Bioengineering and a decade of experience building full-stack, cloud-native systems that bridge lab workflows and scalable production software. He has deep expertise in AWS, Kubernetes, serverless architectures, and data pipelines (Dagster), and has shipped APIs and UI work in Java, Python, React, and TypeScript. His background uniquely blends wet-lab biology and software: he developed CAD/CAPP/CAM tools for engineered yeast, automated NGS and long-read sequencing pipelines, and led software for antibody discovery and on-demand data engineering. At TetraScience he continues to apply that hybrid skillset to industrialize scientific data flows, drawing on prior work guiding bench scientists and designing guided-lab protocols. Colleagues rely on him to translate complex experimental workflows into reliable, auditable software systems that scale. He is based in Seattle and brings both academic rigor and hands-on product engineering to biotech software challenges.
