    Five years as a bioinformatics contractor. I've built and rescued production pipelines for genomics labs and biotechs, the same stack I'll teach you.

    Pick your track

    Career Track

    You're breaking in or switching in. We build a portfolio pipeline recruiters actually respect, rewrite your CV and LinkedIn for computational roles, and drill mock technical interviews: take-homes, live debugging, stats.

    Production Track

    You're already in a lab or company and drowning. We level up your real work: refactor your actual pipeline, adopt Nextflow/nf-core properly, containerize, add version control and testing, so you become the person your team relies on.

    Same structure, same access to me. Session one, we pick your track and build your roadmap.

    The transformation

    Copy-pasting from tutorials
    Writing pipelines you can defend line-by-line
    It works on my machine
    Containerized, versioned, reproducible anywhere
    Guessing what interviews ask
    Drilled on real formats with written feedback
    Waiting on the bioinformatics core
    Being the one who runs the analysis

    Week by week

    Week 1

    Roadmap & Gap Analysis

    Skills audit against your target, role or project, and a personalized plan for the four weeks.

    Week 2

    Build

    Portfolio pipeline (Career) or your real workflow refactor (Production). Nextflow, containers and Git from day one.

    Week 3

    Review & Story

    Line-by-line code review, plus CV/LinkedIn rewrite (Career) or documentation and handover practices (Production).

    Week 4

    Pressure Test

    Mock technical interviews with written feedback (Career) or failure-mode drills and a 60-day independence plan (Production).

    Everything included

    • 8 × 60-min 1:1 sessions
    • Personalized roadmap
    • Line-by-line code review
    • Mock interviews or production drills, per track
    • CV/LinkedIn rewrite (Career track)
    • Async access between sessions, 48h replies
    • All session recordings and materials

    Who this is for

    • Wet-lab scientists going computational
    • Grads who can script but can't get traction
    • Self-taught learners past the tutorials
    • Working bioinformaticians modernizing their stack

    Who it's not for

    • People who've never touched code or biology at all
    • Anyone wanting a job guarantee

    I compress months of flailing into weeks of focused work; the offers are yours to earn.

    Why not just do the free courses?

    You should, they're excellent, and I'll point you at the best ones. But free courses are generic by design and finish at "hello world." This program starts where they end: your code, your data, your gaps, your target. That's not something a video can do.

    Founding Cohort

    This is the first cohort.

    Six people get the full program at the founding price, and in return I ask for honest feedback and a testimonial. After this cohort, the price goes up and this section becomes their results.
