Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolKelsey Florek is a bioinformatician with a decade of experience building cloud-native genomics infrastructure and bioinformatic workflows at the intersection of public health, microbial genomics, and data science. She has led development of scalable, reproducible pipelines and AWS/Terraform-based compute platforms that support state and federal public health initiatives, including contributions to StaPH-B and the Easy Genomics platform. Comfortable across Nextflow, Docker, Python, R, Bash and JavaScript, she pairs practical engineering with domain expertise in antimicrobial resistance, evolutionary biology, and ML-informed genomics. Kelsey’s work emphasizes policy and team practices as much as technical delivery, enabling productive cross-jurisdictional collaborations with public health departments and the CDC. Based in Madison, WI, she combines research-rooted thinking from UW–Madison with hands-on ops experience to translate complex genomic data into actionable public health insights.
