I am an NGS laboratory scientist with a strong passion for next-generation sequencing and laboratory innovation. I have extensive hands-on experience working with Illumina sequencing platforms, including the MiSeq, NextSeq 2000, NovaSeq 6000, and NovaSeq X, and also ONT, supporting a wide range of genomic and diagnostic applications.
I enjoy solving technical challenges, improving laboratory workflows, and helping teams generate high-quality, reliable sequencing data. My work focuses on making complex technologies practical and efficient, whether through optimizing protocols, supporting new methods, or integrating laboratory automation.
