Summary

Senior🎓
Top SchoolMichael Mcduffie is a Staff Software Engineer based in Boston with 13 years building production software for life sciences and biomedical research. He specializes in infrastructure, data engineering, and automation that turn messy scientific workflows into self-service platforms—from terabyte-scale ETL at Harvard Medical School to cloud-native data repositories and lab automation at Ginkgo and Joyn. Michael blends hands-on Python and cloud tooling with organizational craft: he’s led modernization programs, created RFC and training processes, and served as a bridge between computational scientists and engineering teams. He has founded a consultancy, driven FISMA-low security efforts, and repeatedly reduced maintenance burdens so scientists can focus on research. Pragmatic about scale and reproducibility, he’s motivated by “software for cool science” and a talent for making complex genomics and lab workflows reliably usable.
