Senior🎓
Top SchoolThorin Tabor is a Principal Software Engineer with 15 years of professional experience building bioinformatics and research platforms, currently architecting agentic, RAG-enabled tooling like GenePattern Copilot at UCSD and leading the g2nb integration work at the Broad Institute. He blends deep systems and full-stack engineering with domain expertise in genomics, having merged Jupyter-based workflows with tools like Galaxy, IGV and GenePattern to make complex analyses more accessible and reproducible. A serial founder, he also launched SkyPilot to apply analytics and agentic content generation to social media and runs a game-publishing studio, showing a rare mix of technical leadership and creative product incubation. Thorin’s work frequently intersects open-source ecosystems—contributing to GenePattern, g2nb and Jupyter bioinformatics projects—and he brings an unusual background of hobbyist coding since childhood combined with graduate CS training from Brandeis.
