Engineer III, Bioinformatics
Redmond, Washington, United States
Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolMei W is an Engineer III in Bioinformatics with nine years of experience building and maintaining production-grade genomics pipelines for precision medicine and rare disease research. She has implemented and tested Nextflow DSL2 modules for widely used tools (Delly, Picard, bcftools) in the nf-core ecosystem and routinely authors Snakemake workflows that handle short- and long-read WGS/WES/WTS data. At Moderna she supports individualized neoantigen therapy pipelines for clinical trials, drawing on prior roles at University of Washington and SciLifeLab where she combined pipeline engineering, REST API development, and data analysis. Comfortable across Groovy, Python, R and Linux, she pairs hands-on scripting with statistical and visualization skills to translate complex sequencing datasets into actionable results. An avid tabletop RPG player, she brings both creative problem-solving and a collaborative, community-minded approach to open-source bioinformatics.
