Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolSabrina Ward is an actuarial R coder and former bioinformatician with 11 years of experience blending quantitative programming and evolutionary biology. She holds a PhD in Evolutionary & Population Genetics and built a research career developing tools to detect introgression and study recombination and hybridisation across diverse organisms. At the Earlham Institute she contributed to genome assembly toolsets and pangenomics projects, and she now applies a mix of OO, functional and reactive programming to actuarial innovation at Aviva. A co-founder and maintainer of the BioJulia project, she publishes all work on GitHub and enjoys experimenting with data and novel workflows. Her background in rapidly adapting pathogens and seasonally driven marine systems gives her a distinctive edge in translating complex biological variation into robust computational solutions.
