Employment

Centre for Data Processing (ZDV), University of Tübingen

Research associate

2021 Jun–Present

Software developer for the German Human Genome-Phenome Archive (GHGA) project focusing on the development of the platform’s front-end. The data portal currently uses a technology stack consisting of a Node.js back-end running a TypeScript-based ReactJS App, which uses the Bootstrap framework with Sass for custom styling.
