As a seasoned professional with over a decade of experience in creating user-centric bioinformatics tools, my portfolio showcases a robust foundation in user experience (UX), usability methodologies, and Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) principles. My current role as a Postdoctoral Researcher in Bioinformatics has me at the forefront of the genome platform's development, demonstrating my leadership in the field. My academic journey began with an MSc in HCI from Umeå University in 2010, where I developed a keen appreciation for the importance of user-friendly tools. This was focusing on web-based tools for researchers. My PhD journey deepened my understanding of user behavior, participatory design, and the creation of the genomics platform, emphasizing UX. My portfolio expands beyond bioinformatics, highlighting my expertise as a Flutter expert and mobile app developer, alongside my proficiency in Figma for UI/UX design. These skills enable me to craft accessible, engaging, and high-performing applications across platforms. My technical skills are comprehensive, covering software architecture (Model-View-Controller, REST, SOAP, GraphQL), database design (MySQL, PostgreSQL, MongoDB), programming (Python, Perl, PHP, ReactJS, R), and more. My experience with containerized applications, server management, version control systems, and cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, Google Cloud) further underscores my capability in delivering scalable and efficient solutions. This portfolio reflects my commitment to enhancing UX and usability in products and services, leveraging my theoretical knowledge and practical experience to drive advancements in bioinformatics and beyond.
