Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolMaarten Kooyman is a data scientist with 14 years of hands-on experience applying bioinformatics and high‑throughput computing to human genetics and large-scale sequencing projects. He blends software engineering (C++, Python, Perl, JavaScript) and DevOps skills (Jenkins, Puppet, Bioconda packaging) to make complex pipelines reproducible and deployable across clusters and HPC clouds. His background as a technical consultant and datamanager means he routinely supports researchers end-to-end—from cluster maintenance and workflow automation to exome analysis for international collaborations. A long-time bioinformatician, he contributes to the prominent bioconda-recipes ecosystem, writing wrappers and build scripts that help distribute NGS tools reliably. Based in the Randstad, he pairs domain expertise in GATK, Bioconductor and Ensembl with practical systems know-how, quietly enabling research at scale.
