About me

The biology is the hard part.

Currently, I am working on giving agents the capabilities to analyse real biological data and replicate experiments. We put the statistics first: we do not need to write every t-test from scratch, but rather show them the right context so that they can reach the right conclusions. Alongside it, I write and maintain open-source packages — MCPR, plotly.repel and CodeDjinn.
