About Me
Background, research philosophy, and technical direction
I am a Research Software Engineer and Computational Neuroscientist working at the intersection of neuroscience, software engineering, and scientific computing.
My work focuses on transforming complex scientific workflows into reliable software platforms that improve how researchers collect, analyze, monitor, and share data. Combining an M.Sc. in Neuroscience with extensive software development experience, I bring both domain knowledge and engineering rigor to research challenges.
Bridging Neuroscience and Software Engineering
Scientific Domain Context
In computational neuroscience and neuroimaging, data pipelines are notoriously complex—often involving multi-gigabyte 3D volumes, specialized preprocessing toolchains (FSL, FreeSurfer, ANTs), and multi-day compute jobs across distributed HPC nodes.
Having conducted volumetric brain research and published peer-reviewed findings in neurodegenerative disorders and morphometry, I understand the friction points researchers face when dealing with pipeline crashes, unstandardized data formats, and manual log inspection.
Engineering Discipline
I apply modern software engineering principles—version control, continuous integration, containerization, observability, and intuitive UI design—to scientific computing problems.
Whether it is building an ELK-backed error monitoring dashboard for Brainlife.io, developing a companion mobile app for remote pipeline oversight, or creating digital applicant assessment systems for the African Brain Data Network, my goal is to build software that is stable, usable, and impactful.
