Hi, i’m Damon a Bioinformatician in the Tree of Life Project (also found here) at Sanger, UK. In my role I develop programs, websites and pipelines using (mostly) Python, Rust, Nextflow and a bit of JavaScript to generate data that supports genome assembly and curation.
Currently, some of the major projects I am working on are TreeVal, ASCC and a handful of others. I am also the organiser for The Biodiversity Genomics Academy, a Free and Open education platform for aspiring bioinformaticians.
I am a bit of an wanna-be polyglot, I try to learn enough about a wide range of topics so that I can do it myself. A couple of examples include, learning how to forge a sword, design and build a keyboard and self-hosting.
As a note, this is just a collection of things and thoughts I’m not intending it to be anything special and these may come across a train of thought.
Have fun reading!
