Engineer - Systems Integration and Automation @ DNA Script

About

Multidisciplinary Engineer developing and supporting solutions for lab automation and digitalization in the Life Sciences space. Focusing on designing, deploying, and scaling automated workflows that improve Lab data quality, increase systems reliability and accelerate Design–Build–Test–Learn cycles across lab operations. Currently at DNA Script, I work on developing products for rapid and decentralized DNA synthesis. I implement end-to-end genomics workflows on robotic platforms, including software development, systems integration (hardware, software, biology) , and post-deployment user-facing support, in collaboration with internal and external partners. I strongly value multicultural and multidisciplinary collaborations.
