Summary
Qiang Sun is a Senior Python Developer and Architect with over 20 years of experience bridging bioinformatics, data engineering, and web/API development. He has led ETL, REST API (Flask/Django) and DevOps work for government and regulated-industry projects while architecting large-scale genomics data pipelines and HPC/cloud solutions for TCGA, NCI and other research programs. Skilled across Java/J2EE, Python, SQL and major RDBMS, he combines hands-on engineering with domain expertise in NGS, LIMS and high-performance computing. Based in Rockville, MD, he’s equally comfortable building user-facing reporting/visualization stacks (ELK) and backend e-filing or regulatory integrations, a blend that makes him effective at turning complex scientific data into production-grade services. Notably, his background spans both deep computational genomics tool development (PacBio, microarray, primer design pipelines) and modern data science/ML toolchains, reflecting a rare mix of legacy bioinformatics and contemporary data engineering.
