Motivation behind blog
Discovered my passion in coding through bioinformatics projects in fall '19. Using this is a platform to share what I have learned and also reinforce my understanding about some recently learned concepts in programming. Hopefully, some readers will find their passion through my blog. For the boys.
Blog description
Two main categories:
- Projects
- Any code-related projects I have done, ranging from personal, class to lab projects.
- Tutorials
- Basically any concepts I have learned. Helps me retain what I have learned and I hope they can be of help to you!
Education
- Biotechnology major (Microbiology Track turned Bioinformatics Track) at University of California, Davis (2016-2020)
- A-Levels at Kolej Yayasan UEM (2014-2016)
- SPM at Sekolah Menengah Sains Miri (2009-2013)
Research experience
- Currently assisting in developing a SQLite database containing NMR experimental data. Used Bash and R scripts for data wrangling, identifying some inconsistencies within the data to be used. Currently using Python, SQLite and Bash to finalize the database.
- Assisted a plant science lab project by applying bioinformatics, specifically running a BLASTx loop using GNU Parallel for faster results.
- Studied the persistence of various Salmonella serovars in Salinas lettuce plants.
