Senior🎓
Top SchoolSunit Jain is a Principal Software Engineer and computational biologist with 13+ years building AWS-powered cloud platforms and pipelines that accelerate microbial genomics discovery. He has driven production-scale infrastructures—using Terraform, Nextflow, Docker, and AWS services—that supported 20+ publications, 1000+ citations, and multiple patents, and architected SaaS search and LLM-enabled annotation services that cut workflow time by ~70%. Comfortable across Python, R, Bash and graph databases like Neo4j, he designs reproducible CI/CD and IaC for complex metagenomics and protein engineering workloads. As a consultant and former senior data scientist at CZ Biohub, he pairs hands-on pipeline development with technical leadership and mentoring, translating lab needs into scalable cloud roadmaps. An understated strength is his track record of turning niche research tools (e.g., genome QC, strain abundance estimators) into production-grade services that materially increased scientific throughput.
