Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolThomas Gregory is a data scientist and bioinformatician with over a decade of experience building algorithms and production pipelines for NGS data, currently advancing analytics at Forge Biologics. He blends software engineering (Python, R, Rust, Go, D, C, Snakemake) with domain expertise in genomics to deliver AWS-hosted real-time analysis, backend development for life-science products, and clinical-ready variant transformations. His work ranges from developing novel rAAV characterization tools to managing Slurm-based Linux compute environments and producing publication-quality figures with R/ggplot2 and Illustrator. An active contributor to bioconda-recipes, he has hands-on DevOps experience packaging bioinformatics tools across platforms—an often-overlooked skill that keeps research software reproducible and deployable. Based in Columbus, Ohio, he pairs academic rigor with pragmatic production engineering to move NGS workflows from prototype to clinic.
