Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolWilliam Sullivan is a Bioinformatics Programmer with a decade of experience building data coordination platforms and analysis pipelines for large genomics consortia, currently engineering project tracking and submission systems for the Human Cell Atlas and CIRM at the UCSC Genomics Institute. He bridges software and biology—authoring Django/Python front- and back-ends, designing metadata standards, and coordinating submissions from 30+ labs across diverse single-cell and sequencing assay types. William has a strong background in NGS QC and structural-variation analysis from his work at the Joint Genome Institute, where he optimized SV tools and analyzed variation across crops and trees. He combines agile product delivery with hands-on data curation to create a single source of truth for 70+ projects, and is comfortable translating wet-lab workflows into reproducible, production-ready pipelines. Notably, his work often sits at the intersection of user feedback, metadata modeling, and deployable tooling—helping researchers get usable data into the hands of analysts faster.

gi-kent-content/hca-tuatara
Apr 2020 - Apr 2021
A little python-based web site for helping the wranglers and others track incoming single cell projects as they are brought into HCA. The Tuatara has an extra eye which comes in handy in this project.
