Senior🎓
Top SchoolMax Hargreaves is a Research Software Engineer III and bioinformatician with 11 years of experience building production-grade pipelines and algorithms for genomics and plant genetics. He combines a strong academic foundation (PhD and M.Binf. from the University of Guelph) with hands-on engineering—shipping NGS-to-consumer sequencing pipelines and developing a Rust-based algorithm for automated degenerate primer design. At Roche/Genentech he implemented Python clients for ArtifactDB integrations, showing a knack for reliable tools that bridge research data and enterprise systems. Comfortable across Python and Rust, he excels at taking complex bioinformatics problems from prototyping to maintainable, production-ready software. Based in San Bruno, he brings both bench experience with model plants and a practical orientation to product-focused bioinformatics engineering.
