Summary
Tom Price is a firmware engineer and PhD-trained software scientist with 14 years of experience bridging bioinformatics, embedded systems, and AI. He has led translational informatics and statistical genetics projects in academia and industry, built production pipelines for drug discovery, and reverse-engineered and developed firmware for open hardware—most notably the open-source chaipcr RTPCR backend. Comfortable across Python, Julia, and low-level firmware, he combines rigorous statistical thinking with hands-on embedded design to optimize real-world instruments and manufacturing processes. Based in Philadelphia, he is finishing an MS in electrical engineering and maintains an eclectic “hack of all trades” approach that blends academic publication experience with practical open-source engineering.
