Welcome to my Portfolio

Hi, I’m Salomon. I’m an applied data and machine learning professional working at the intersection of bioinformatics, health research, and software engineering.

I bring over a decade of experience in academic research and technical communication, combined with hands-on work in data analysis, machine learning, and bioinformatics. My background spans academia and industry, where I’ve led and contributed to projects involving statistical modeling, transcriptomic analysis, and the development of reproducible data pipelines.

My current work focuses on applying machine learning and data-driven methods to bioinformatics and health research, with an emphasis on generating actionable insights from real-world and biomedical data.
