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

I’m a former wet-lab molecular biologist. Now I work across bioinformatics, software engineering and data analytics

I’m a full-stack engineer who specialises in Python, Django, databases, analytics and the cloud (GCP). I turn messy biological data into tools that people can use

[01] APPLE VS GARMIN

A year with both watches on one wrist. A scroll story of where they agree and where they do not

A map game played with my own runs. Each tile goes to whoever ran it most
