# TODO(mmartyn): summit more peaks, ship more pipelines.

I’m a reformed wet-lab molecular biologist who now pivots between bioinformatics, software engineering and data analytics.

Full-stack engineer specialising in Python, Django, databases, analytics and the cloud (GCP / AWS) — turning messy biological data into things people can actually use.
