Rice University

• Houston, Texas, United States

• Research Software Engineer

  • Jun 2022 - Present

  •Website design and development with Bootstrap, CSS, JavaScript, and HTML5. • Sole author/developer/maintainer for PhyNetPy, a framework that provides the capacity and architecture to build methods for the analysis and inference of phylogenetic networks. As such, it also provides a set of simulation tools and pre-existing inference methods from prior research as base points of use. •Algorithmic design, performance, and scalability upgrades. PhyNetPy uses a caching based graphical modeling framework for eliminating redundant computations which results in efficient and scalable use. Runtime upgrades over other leading software in some cases reaches over 100x faster. • Gained experience in using Python for library development and deployment using PyPI •Multiplatform app development using C#/.NET MAUI Show less
