BY DAY: Chief Software Architect of SnapGene, software designed to streamline everyday molecular biology tasks. SnapGene is a labor of love, and it is refreshing to hear how it is helping molecular biologists, students and other users speed up their research, avoid making mistakes, save them time and money, and ultimately facilitate scientific discovery. Working on SnapGene has allowed me to learn about good user interface design, develop efficient algorithms and data structures for working with large genetic sequences, all while learning a lot about biology and genetics. I love my job. BY NIGHT: woodworking, biking, and enjoying the outdoors. ©
