Experience

1. Senior Director

   Schrödinger

   Feb 2021 — Present

   Data scientist with rich drug discovery and cheminformatics experience. I lead a team of data engineers and data scientists that directly support drug-discovery efforts. My team mines numerous data stores and curates primary sources into assets for integrated teams of medicinal chemists, computational chemists, and biologists. We work in a highly collaborative way, with a focus on providing impact and enabling programs to make crisp, data-driven decisions. We orchestrate cheminformatics, data engineering and data science skills to create interactive, information-rich visualizations and dashboards. We also support drug discovery teams with data management, by creating and executing data ingestion plans for biological assays, compound synthesis and genomic data.
