Summary
Matthew Stapylton is a bioinformatics software engineer with eight years of experience bridging mathematics, software engineering, and genetics research. Trained in mathematics with a concentration in scientific computing, he has built production pipelines for GWAS and metagenomic analyses and contributed to peer-reviewed publications while working at Mount Sinai. He progressed from technical support and team lead roles into bioinformatics, honing debugging, database, and extensibility skills that help him tackle complex research engineering problems. Now at Memorial Sloan Kettering, he focuses on scalable bioinformatics software for clinical research environments. Outside of work he designs recreational-math puzzles—developing a Sudoku-like game based on Skolem sequences—a project that exemplifies his appetite for combinatorial problem solving and creative algorithm design.
