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.

5 years

20+

production pipelines built or rescued

labs and companies served

In production

Nextflow, Python, Docker, AWS/HPC

You finished the course. Nothing changed.

Tutorial purgatory

Hello Nextflow, done. Python course, done. Real dataset in front of you at work? Frozen.

The free-training gap

Community courses are excellent, and generic by design. Nobody looks at your code, your data, your career.

Alone with it

When your pipeline breaks at 5pm, no YouTube video debugs it with you.

Two ways to work with me

For Individuals

The Bioinformatics Stack Intensive

4 weeks, 1:1. A personalized track through the modern stack, capped with a portfolio pipeline and interview prep, or production skills for your current role.

For Teams

Private Team Training

I train your team on your pipelines, not toy examples. Nextflow adoption, reproducibility, code quality. Custom-scoped workshops plus follow-up office hours.

How it works

Apply

A short application tells me your level, your target, and what you've already tried.

Roadmap session

We map the gap between where you are and production-ready, then pick your track.

Execute together

Weekly 1:1 sessions on your code, your data, with async access in between.

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.

Abdallah Meknas, bioinformatics coach at Draco Reach

I'm Abdallah Meknas.

Five years contracting in bioinformatics: building pipelines, fixing pipelines, and sitting in the hiring loops that decide who gets these jobs. I coach because the gap between "finished the tutorial" and "trusted with production" is real, and almost nobody teaches across it. I came up through the wet lab myself, so I know exactly how steep that climb feels. I keep the roster small on purpose, so every hour goes into your code.

Next cohort starts Sept 21, 2026. 6 seats.

Applications close Friday, September 18. I review every one personally.

Production-Ready, the Draco Reach letter

One email a week: a real pattern from production bioinformatics, a hiring insight, or a pipeline worth stealing. For scientists done with tutorials.
