Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolPete Haverty is a technology senior manager and bioinformatics leader based in San Francisco with over a decade of hands-on experience scaling genomic data platforms and teams. He has led cross-functional engineering and bioinformatics groups at Ginkgo, Zymergen, and Genentech to build production-grade pipelines and the world-scale metagenomic and WGS resources scientists rely on, including refactors that enabled 18X growth in sequencing volume and dramatic codebase simplifications. Pete blends scientific rigor (PhD-level bioinformatics) with practical software engineering, shipping self-service analysis GUIs and portals that turn complex genomics data into usable products for large research teams. He’s noted for mentoring engineers, recruiting high-performing teams, and translating scientist needs into robust, maintainable infrastructure—often reducing cognitive load so researchers can focus on discovery.
