Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolMark Fisher is a software engineer with 12 years of experience who blends full-stack development (React, Angular, Java/JSP) with a deep background in biology and genetics, including a Ph.D. in Genetics and work as a computational biologist at OHSU. He spent several years at Wild Me building wildlife-focused platforms (Wildbook and a React/Python Codex frontend) that apply ML to identify individual animals, and he’s currently retooling with modern Python and machine-learning coursework. Comfortable teaching and communicating complex science—having taught multiple college biology courses and led field study programs—he brings rare domain expertise for projects at the biology–software intersection. Pragmatic and product-focused, he has experience improving lab workflows and developer practices (e.g., Java GUIs and reproducible Knitr reports) and seeks roles that combine software craftsmanship with conservation or biological research impact.
