Senior🎓
Top SchoolRaúl Aragón is a Senior Bioinformatics Engineer with over 20 years in bioinformatics and a decade of focused industry experience building production-grade sequencing pipelines and cloud-native workflows. He specializes in optimizing HPC and AWS-based Nextflow pipelines for cost, speed and scalability, and has led implementations for duplex sequencing (NanoSeq), cohort variant calling, and multi-platform sequencing centers integrated with LIMS. His background spans research-grade computational biophysics to hands-on systems administration, giving him rare fluency across algorithmic, infrastructure and operational concerns. At Quotient and the Wellcome Sanger Institute he combined pipeline de-novo development, nf-core adaptation and containerization to move complex analyses into robust, monitored production. Notably, he brings practical experience delivering high-throughput workflows that handle diverse sequencing platforms and tight quality-control requirements.
