Hi, I'm bmpvieira,

About Me

Interested in Machine Learning, Genomics, Open Science and the Web.

Scientist by education and programmer by profession. Over the years, I've coded mostly in Node.js (JavaScript), Python, R, and Shell scripting to analyse Big Genomic Data.

Founded and lead Bionode.io, an Open Source community to build scalable code and tools for bioinformatics by leveraging Node.js.

In 2016, the Mozilla Science Lab awarded me a fellowship (one of four, out of 483 submissions) to travel around the world and champion open science through workshops and hackathons.

Reproducibility and scalability are important to me, thus I've also become an expert in Docker, Singularity, Nix (package manager) and cloud computing.

Worked for research labs and startups, I enjoy being at the intersection of industry and academia.
