Senior🎓
Top SchoolKenny Billiau is a pragmatic software engineer with 16 years’ experience building and operating data-heavy bioinformatics systems, currently working at Anocca AB from Stockholm. He has led IT and bioinformatics teams at Karolinska Institutet/SciLifeLab, architecting data flows from Illumina sequencers, automating delivery pipelines, and squeezing 1000+ whole genomes/year into constrained storage while championing DevOps practices.

His background spans scientific programming, ontology-driven data management and workflow automation for multi‑partner research consortia, so he excels at turning messy biological data into auditable, automated pipelines.
