Summary
Michael Vliet is a Scientific Programmer with 15 years of experience building efficient, production-grade tools and e-infrastructure for academic and research environments, currently based at Leiden University. He blends full-stack development, Linux and cloud administration, database design and deployment automation to deliver reproducible pipelines for metabolomics and molecular phenotype data (notably contributions to PhenoMeNal and the Metabolome Exchange service). Comfortable taking projects from prototype to production, he has a track record of rapidly shipping web applications using Groovy/Grails, Java, and modern CI workflows.
