Position:
Bioinformatician
Current project:
Eco-Flow: Building pipelines for agri-ecologists
Interests:
My main interest revolves around building bioinformatic pipelines that are modular, reproducible, portable, and easy to run. I use Nextflow as my main tool to write these pipelines, manage dependencies through containers and environments, and overcome the challenges of running computational workflows across different systems, from local workstations to High Performance Computing clusters. In addition to Nextflow, I am also part of the nf-core community, where I use community-established templates and best practices to build pipelines that are robust and easy to use.
Biography:
I am Paraguayan and moved to Spain when I was young. I began my academic journey with a BSc in Biology and then transitioned into Computational Biology by completing an MSc in Bioinformatics. This led to a bioinformatician position at the Centre for Genomic Regulation (CRG) in Barcelona. In 2024, I moved to London to work as a Bioinformatician on the Eco-Flow project at University College London.
