Hi, I'm a bioinformatician, which is at the intersection of two disciplines.

Biology: I'm interested in pretty much any living thing, most of all evolution, biological networks and systems.

Informatics: Linux geek since 2001, #rstats user for about 15 years, and functional programmer since I learnt me some Haskell 3 years ago.

I turn data into knowledge and actions. Some might call that a "data scientist". I call it a biologist, who uses computers to answer questions and strives to write robust and efficient code.

@kupac Welcome! Former bioinformaticist here. Loved the job, but not its stability at the time. I worked on Epigenetics, you know, methylation microarrays and ChIP-Seq. Beautiful subject.

I sometimes struggled as I wasn't a biologist, but oh my the things I learned.

@keyeoh Yeh, it can get very complex, even for someone who studied biology for many years. But it does give you a unique view on life and the world. So I'm happy for you that you had the chance to do it!
