Alumni
This person is a member of Sanger Institute Alumni.
I am passionate about coding, especially in the area of distributed systems and large scale applications. I have a strong interest in designing software to solve the real-world problems as the ones we face in the context of scientific research and I enjoy the challenges of big data. My work at Sanger involves:
- designing, implementing and maintaining the Human Genetics archive (Serapis) used for storing large data sets together with metadata on long term
- writing tools for data testing/processing – such as metadata check – a tool that runs metadata sanity checks on the sequencing data in iRODS before it is imported for processing by my team
- writing a tool for testing that a tar up operation was succesfully performed (tarchecksum)
- writing a tool for checking that the conversion between BAM and CRAM format has been successful (bam2cram-check)
In addition to this I am also running the data processing pipelines on sequencing data and occasionally I help with sysadmin-related tasks, such as managing the humgen storage and user/farm groups.
