Genomics Institute
I have been working on the UCSC Genome Browser since 2002. It's a fun mix of programming in C and Javascript, transforming data files using various scripting languages, and helping to answer questions about our software and data from scientists all over the world. Since 2003 I have been telecommuting full time from Davis, CA. In 2020 I shifted to spending most of my time on phylogenetics of SARS-CoV-2 and other pathogens. Since 2021 I have maintained the UShER tree of essentially all full size, high quality SARS-CoV-2 genomes, searchable via usher.bio.
Before UCSC, I did logic design for ASICs in Verilog RTL, for video encoding and networking chips at several Silicon Valley companies. Before that (1995) I completed MIT's 6A combined Bachelor's/Master's/internship program with Xerox PARC.
