About

I lead the data science, engineering, and manufacturing operations functions for ChromaCode, Inc., a molecular diagnostics company in the life sciences industry. Recently we have focused on SARS-CoV-2 testing products, where I led the team that won a COVID Testing XPRIZE award for fast, frequent, cheap and easy testing. We're now expanding our molecular diagnostic multiplexing technology into prenatal testing and oncology areas. Prior to ChromaCode, I was an engineering manager at Illumina, leading the development of processes for consumables manufacturing across several major platforms, including the HiSeqX nanopatterned flowcell which enabled the $1000 genome as well as the predictive analytics program that became Illumina Proactive.
