* Experience
** Research Scientist at UIUC \hfill 2015--2017
-+ Epigenetic modifications associated with PTSD, the genomic basis of
- the development of parturition in mammals, and detecting adverse
- pregnancy outcomes using urinary exosomes.
++ Primarily responsible for the planning, design, organization,
+ execution, and analysis of multiple complex epidemiological studies
+ involving epigenomics, transcriptomics, and genomics of diseases of
+ pregnancy and post-traumatic stress disorder.
++ Published results in scientific publications and presented results
+ orally at major scientific conferences.
++ Wrote and completed grants, including budgeting, scientific
+ direction, project management, and reporting.
++ Mentored graduate students and collaborated with internal and
+ external scientists.
++ Performed literature review, training, and applied new techniques to
+ maintain abreast of current scientific literature, principles of
+ scientific research, and modern statistical methodology.
++ Wrote software and designed relational databases using R, perl, C,
+ SQL, make, and very large computational systems.
** Postdoctoral Researcher at USC \hfill 2013--2015
-+ Identifying genes and causal alleles associated with Systemic Lupus
- Erythematosus using genome-wide association, next-generation
- sequencing, computational and biochemical approaches.
++ Primarily responsible for the design, execution, and analysis of an
+ epidemiological study to identify genomic variants associated with
+ systemic lupus erythematosus using targeted deep sequencing.
++ Designed, budgeted, configured, maintained, and supported a secure
+ linux analysis cluster (MPI/torque) with a shared filesystem (NFS
+ over gluster) for statistical analyses.
++ Wrote multiple pieces of software to reproducibly analyze and
+ archive large datasets resulting from genomic sequencing.
++ Coordinated with clinicians, molecular biologists, and biologists to
+ produce analyses and major reports.
** Postdoctoral Researcher at UCR \hfill 2010--2012
-+ Identifying genes which are associated with Systemic Lupus
- Erythematosus using prior information and targeted trio-based
- studies.
++ Primarily responsible for the execution and analysis of an
+ epidemiological study to identify genomic variants associated with
+ systemic lupus erythematosus using prior information and array based
+ approaches in a trio and cross sectional study of individuals from
+ the Los Angeles and greater United States.
++ Wrote and maintained multiple software components to reproducibly
+ perform the analyses.
** Debian Developer \hfill 2004--Present
-+ \emph{Debian Project}, Developer; Technical Committee Member
- (2010--2016), Technical Committee Chair (2015--2016).
-
++ Maintained, managed configurations, and resolved issues in multiple
+ packages written in R, perl, python, scheme, C++, and C.
++ Resolved technical conflicts, developed technical standards, and
+ provided leadership as the elected chair of the Technical Committee.
++ Developer of [[https://bugs.debian.org][Debbugs]], a perl and SQL-based issue-tracker with ≥ 100
+ million entries with web, REST, and SOAP interfaces.
+** Independent Systems Administrator \hfill 2004--Present
++ Researched, recommended, budgeted, designed, deployed, configured,
+ operated, and monitored highly-available high-performance enterprise
+ hardware and software for web applications, authentication, backup,
+ email, and databases.
++ Provided vendor-level support for complex systems integration issues
+ on Debian GNU/Linux systems.
++ Full life-cycle support of medium and small business networking
+ infrastructure, including VPN, network security, wireless networks,
+ routing, DNS, DHCP, and authentication.
