Senior🎓
Top SchoolMike Zhong is a Principal Software Engineer and bioinformatics practitioner with 10+ years bridging drug development, GMP manufacturing, and cloud-native data science. He builds and deploys production-grade ML and sequencing pipelines (RNA-seq, scRNA-seq, cfDNA, GUIDE-seq) using Python/R, workflow engines (nextflow, WDL, snakemake, flyte), and AWS, and has led qualification and FDA-facing documentation for clinical-grade software. His background spans hands-on cell processing and process characterization for cell and gene therapies through to architecting serverless, CI/CD-driven analytics used in personalized medicine. Comfortable across languages from Python and R to C++ and Rust, he combines HPC and DevOps best practices to scale high-throughput genomics analyses. Colleagues rely on him to translate complex biological requirements into auditable, compliant software — a strength rooted in real GMP lab experience and formal CS and applied math training.
