Hi, I’m Salvatore

Data Science & Bioinformatics
London, United Kingdom

About Me

I’m a biomedical scientist with 7+ years of experience in clinical laboratories and a growing focus on bioinformatics, data science, and precision medicine.
I bridge wet-lab techniques with computational workflows - from stem cell research to NGS data pipelines - combining biological expertise with data-driven insights.

  • 7+ years of experience across genomic, clinical, stem-cell, and ATMP laboratories (CooperGenomics, UCLH)
  • Experience in flow cytometry, NGS library prep, and clinical data reporting
  • Skilled in Python, R, SQL, and Bash for genomic analysis and automation
  • Cloud-native mindset: Google Cloud, AWS, and Kubernetes for scalable bioinformatics pipelines
  • Freelance AI data annotator (Mercor, Outlier, micro1, Alignerr) supporting model training for biomedical data
  • Currently pursuing MSc Bioinformatics @ Atlantic Technological University (remote)
