I grew up southern part of India. After completing my bachelors in Biotechnology in 2007, I wanted to pursue my higher education in U.S. I received my graduation in Bioinformatics from University of Texas El Paso in 2009 and started working as a Bioinformatician.

Before moving to Stanford I worked as an intern in University of Illinois Urbana Champaign on developing Next-Gen sequencing pipeline for Illumina reads. Later I worked as a full-time Bioinformatics Systems Engineer for FGSR (Functional Genomics Shared Resource) Vanderbilt University, where I used to provide Bioinformatics support mainly focusing on experimental design, statistical methods and advance bioinformatics analysis for multiple PI's.

Currently I am providing Bioinformatics support (both in microarrays and deep-sequencing) for Dr. Sweet-Cordero, Dr. Sage and Dr. Celery labs.
