Senior🎓
Top SchoolSricharan Varra is a Research Software Engineer with eight years of experience building high-performance computational tools at the intersection of imaging, machine learning, and biological modeling. He has led end-to-end pipelines for hundreds of terabytes of multiplexed imaging data, modernized lab software CI/CD with GitHub Actions, and created interactive visualizations that translated complex spatial proteomics into actionable insights for researchers and public audiences. Comfortable spanning optics, algorithms, and ML, he currently develops computational microscopy systems at Biohub while contributing to open-source projects in dynamic imaging and physics-informed ML. His background in Bayesian methods, network science, and high-dimensional statistics complements practical skills in Python (scverse), React/AstroJS, and PyTorch. Notably, he has a track record of reducing processing and build times by orders of magnitude and turning large, messy biological datasets into reproducible, well-documented resources. Based in San Francisco, he seeks roles that combine data science and ML with biological modeling to drive discovery.
