Summary
Priit Paluoja is an experienced bioinformatics and data management leader with 10 years of engineering and research experience, currently Head of Data Management at CELVIA and pursuing a PhD in Biomathematics, Bioinformatics & Computational Biology. He combines a strong computer science foundation (BSc) and a Data Science MSc with hands-on software engineering—from Kotlin/Spring Boot educational platforms to full-stack diagnostic tools built at CERN. His work spans large-scale biological data, database management, and machine learning methods such as neural networks, SVMs and HMMs, applied to genetics and research workflows. Known for bridging research and production, he has progressed from IT specialist to team lead while continuing to teach programming and contribute to academic software at the University of Tartu. An understated strength is his practical focus on performant, user-friendly systems that make complex bioinformatics data accessible to scientists.
