About Joshua Bernal

Throughout my 17 year pharmaceutical industry career covering everything from pre-clinical trials, phase 1 FIH, Ph to post-marketing and RWD trials, I have developed a strong foundation in data analytics, R programming, database and clinical data management. I am well-versed in utilizing these skills to extract valuable insights from complex datasets, enabling data-driven decision-making processes. Additionally, my experience with AWS (Amazon Web Services) has allowed me to leverage cloud-based technologies to enhance data storage, processing, and analysis capabilities.I am particularly proud of my proficiency in CDSIC (Clinical Data Interchange Standards Consortium) data standards. These standards play a crucial role in ensuring the consistency and integrity of clinical trial data. I have successfully implemented CDSIC standards in various projects, enabling seamless data exchange and integration across different systems. Furthermore, I am well-versed in the FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable) principles, which emphasize the importance of making data assets discoverable and reusable, ultimately improving scientific collaboration and innovation.In addition to my technical skills, I have a proven track record of effectively collaborating with cross-functional teams, including clinical research, regulatory affairs, and IT departments. I was the first person hired in the group I’m a part of (Data Curation & Integration) and have had a hand in every process, tool, and system which has been developed. I am adept at translating complex technical concepts into easily understandable language, facilitating effective communication and collaboration among team members with diverse backgrounds.I also have a strong project management background and 3 years of people management experience.Specialties: AWS, Database Design and implementation, Big Data Analytics, RWD, R, SQL, EHR/MHR, CDISC Standards, CRF/non-CRF data, Unix, Project Management
