Over six months, contributed to the stjude/proteinpaint repository by building and modernizing core analytics and data visualization features for genomic data analysis. Leveraging Rust, Python, and TypeScript, developed unified HDF5 input handling, expanded test coverage, and enhanced JSON schema validation to improve data integrity and maintainability. Delivered in-house bioinformatics pipelines, optimized gene expression processing, and introduced scalable bulk query modes for performance gains. On the front end, implemented new genome browser capabilities for structural variants and copy number variations using D3.js, while refining UI data models and visualization logic to support richer, more reliable downstream analysis and user experience.
June 2026 monthly summary for stjude/proteinpaint: Focused on expanding data visualization capabilities and preparing the genome browser to handle a broader set of mutation types, aligning with product goals of enabling deeper insights from genomic data. No major bug fixes were reported this month; the team concentrated on delivering two key front-end visualization features with clear business value and measurable impact.

For May 2026, delivered a focused data-parsing enhancement in the Phenotree Dictionary within stjude/proteinpaint to recognize sample_type as a valid header, enabling more detailed data handling during phenotree database builds. Implemented via commit 4a972ed82384707cbebcadcc828b65068019857e with message 'allow sample_type in phenotree for db build'.

April 2026 monthly summary for stjude/proteinpaint focused on stabilizing and expanding core analytics capabilities while reducing external dependencies. Delivered a complete in-house MSA pipeline, replacing ClustalO with a Python-based solution, adding end-to-end alignment handling (alignment, distance matrix, guide tree), removing external binaries, addressing Biopython deprecations, renaming scripts, and strengthening tests and parsing infrastructure. Also enhanced gene expression data processing for robustness and performance (handling non-finite/missing values, skipping non-numeric values in clustering, and refactoring cpm to accept column sums). Result: improved reliability, throughput, and reproducibility with reduced maintenance overhead and clearer ownership of key analytics pipelines.
