Senior🎓
Top SchoolSteven Strong is a Bioinformatics Engineer with nine years of experience bridging scientific research and production software, specializing in C++, Python, statistical modeling, HPC, and AWS-based infrastructure. He has progressed from academic research—where he developed new computational methods, contributed to open-source simulation packages, and earned a Biophysical Journal cover—to leading bioinformatics architecture and engineering at Invitae and currently at Adela. Comfortable across Unix/Linux system administration, cluster orchestration, and cloud deployment, he designs and ships scalable pipelines that translate complex biophysical models into reliable production systems. He combines a Ph.D. in Chemical Physics with hands-on lab and field experience from USGS, giving him an uncommon ability to connect experimental realities with robust computational solutions.
