Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolMichael Hipp is a Senior Software Engineer with nine years of experience at the intersection of software and genomics, currently focusing on production bioinformatics and cloud-enabled pipelines. He progressed from hands-on wet-lab research using Duplex-Sequencing to leading development of error-corrected NGS tooling at TwinStrand and now contributes to genomic software at Natera. Comfortable across DevOps, testing, and scalable pipeline design, he pairs a 4.0 MS in Computer Science with deep domain knowledge from a BS in Cell, Molecular, and Developmental Biology. His background as a lab manager and research scientist gives him a rare, practical appreciation for upstream experimental constraints when building computational solutions. Colleagues rely on him to translate complex biological problems into robust, auditable software systems that run in production. Based in Seattle, he is motivated by applying software engineering rigor to advance genomics and diagnostic reliability.
