feb 2023 - present
Lead data management activities for complex clinical trials across portfolios including Takeda,
Blueprint, and GSK, ensuring data integrity, accuracy, and regulatory compliance.
Manage project timelines, deliverables, and internal/external team communications, in-cluding
coordination for UAT, DB lock, and CRF reconciliation.
Run local vSIM pipelines in Linux environments to create and troubleshoot internal JSON
configuration
files, validate data outputs, and ensure proper syncing of biomarker da-tasets across multiple
studies.
Troubleshoot configuration-related pipeline errors using system logs, custom-built scripts, and
exploratory analysis, applying version control via GitLab to manage and re-solve issues
efficiently.
Piloted the Data Mapper PoC with SolveBio API to transform vSIM data using EDP tem-plates,
collaborating
closely with engineering and data product teams.
Provided technical evaluations and hands-on feedback on AI tools like Zipstack/Unstract to
assess
integration feasibility for expected samples scheduling.
Served as the primary technical mentor and ambassador for new team members, conduct-ing regular
onboarding sessions, technical walkthroughs, and training in custom work-flows and Linux-based
toolsets.
Developed custom R functions to enhance the flexibility and scalability of data checks across
portfolios, including complex flagging systems for consent date discrepancies, duplicate
detection, and
assay result interpretation.
key achievements:
Built robust local pipelines using Linux to process and transform large biomarker da-tasets,
vendor
inventory manifests, and assay results, drastically reducing run times and minimizing downstream
QC issues.
Created a Python utility to split a massive, system-crashing CSV file locally, enabling timely
validation and report generation despite client-side delays.
Authored a portfolio-wide R-based custom check to automatically flag pipeline-breaking errors,
adopted
across multiple studies to improve QC.
Achieved a 4.0 "Above Standards" rating for technical excellence and collaboration across
departments
and product teams.
Received client accolades for timely, proactive support and high-quality deliverables,
in-cluding
recognition from Turnstone and internal leadership.
