Summary
Nathan Dedman is a Staff Software Engineer with 11 years of experience building full-stack web applications and computational tools for cheminformatics and life sciences. He blends practical chemistry domain knowledge with hands-on engineering across Python, JavaScript and Ruby stacks, from data-driven backends and ML-enabled APIs to responsive UIs and monitoring systems. At EBI he led development of SureChEMBL and ADME/SARfari, and he currently manages a multi-thousand-dollar-per-month AWS architecture while migrating services to OpenStack. Comfortable prototyping quickly or refining production-grade systems, he has deep experience with RDKit, scikit-learn, RabbitMQ, Redis and observability stacks (StatsD/InfluxDB/Grafana). Colleagues rely on his creative problem solving and lateral thinking to turn proof-of-concept ideas into deployed, maintainable platforms.
