Alessio S.

Bioinformatician and Data Scientist with 4+ years of hands-on experience turning messy scientific and business data into reliable pipelines, tools, and automated workflows. I've worked across pharma, biotech, and academic research settings in Italy, Sweden, and Finland, and I'm now bringing that same problem-solving approach to freelance projects — from full pipeline builds to quick one-off scripts, including AI-assisted automation. Key Achievements: 🧬 4+ years of professional experience in bioinformatics, data engineering, and scientific software support 🧫 Designed and deployed analysis pipelines processing 2,500+ real-world genomic and microbiome datasets 🗄️ Built and maintained scientific databases and full-stack internal tools (React, FastAPI) used daily by entire research teams 🎓 MSc in Bioinformatics for Computational Genomics (Politecnico di Milano / Università degli Studi di Milano), BSc in Biotechnology (Università degli Studi di Milano-Bicocca) 🌍 International experience across pharma (Italy), biotech startups (Sweden), and academic research (Finland) 🤖 Actively integrating AI/LLM tools (Claude, GitHub Copilot) into daily development to speed up delivery What I Can Help With: Bioinformatics pipeline design & automation (R/Bioconductor, Python/BioPython, Bash) NGS data analysis — DNA-seq, RNA-seq, 16S rRNA/microbiome, Hi-C Scientific & relational database design and maintenance (Oracle and similar systems) Internal tools & dashboards for data teams (React, FastAPI, Spotfire) Data wrangling, cleanup, and ETL pipelines Workflow automation and integration with lab/scientific instruments AI-assisted development and LLM-based automation for data workflows Technical support and training for research and data teams Tools & Platforms: Languages: R, Python, Bash, SQL Bioinformatics: Bioconductor, BioPython, QIIME2, Dada2, samtools, BWA, STAR Dev & Infra: Git/GitHub/GitLab, FastAPI, React, Oracle DB, SLURM Visualization: Spotfire, matplotlib/ggplot2, interactive dashboards AI Tools: Claude, GitHub Copilot, LLM-based automation Domains Expertise: Genomics & Computational Biology Pharma & Drug Discovery Microbiome Research Scientific Data Infrastructure Data Science & Automation AI-Assisted Workflow Development Why Choose Me? ✔️ Real, hands-on experience across pharma, biotech, and academic research, not just theory ✔️ Comfortable owning a project end-to-end: from raw data to a working pipeline or tool ✔️ Strong communicator, fluent in Italian and English ✔️ Quick to pick up new tools, domains, and unfamiliar codebases ✔️ Equally happy with a one-off script or long-term ongoing support ✔️ Genuinely enjoy solving other people's data problems, not just my own Related Keywords: Bioinformatics, Data Science, Python, R, Bioconductor, BioPython, NGS, RNA-seq, DNA-seq, Microbiome Analysis, QIIME2, Pipeline Development, Workflow Automation, Data Engineering, ETL, Database Management, Oracle SQL, FastAPI, React, Data Visualization, Spotfire, AI Automation, LLM Integration, Scientific Software Support, Genomics, Computational Biology, Data Cleaning
