Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolMichael Souza is a Staff Engineer in the San Francisco Bay Area with 11 years of experience building production software across biotech and data platforms. At Whole Biome since 2017 he progressed from senior engineer to staff, applying a background in computational biology to production engineering challenges. His early research at UC Berkeley and roles at TACC and Alpine Data Labs blend rigorous algorithmic work—Bayesian models for protein function and genome assembly—with practical systems engineering. He is comfortable across Python, Java, Matlab and large-scale compute environments, and has a track record of turning research prototypes into reliable products. Michael’s training in math (BS, honors) and partial PhD work give him a strong analytical bent that guides pragmatic design decisions. Colleagues might not expect his career-long thread connecting microscopy, genomics, and backend systems into measurable product outcomes.
