Portfolio

Welcome to my portfolio. Here you will find a curated selection of multidisciplinary projects that exemplify my backgroundf in pharmaceutical chemistry, science education, data science, app development and coding. Highlights include an interactive web application that uses a machine learning model to classify cancer types from gene expression data and a cheminformatics project for predicting molecular solubility.

You can also explore several published medicinal chemistry papers focusing on the design and synthesis of multifunctional molecules for treating atherosclerosis. In these papers my contribution was in the computational chemistry aspect, performing the QSAR modeling and molecular docking studies. A separate publication, "Fun with Fingerprints," was developed with my supervisor in to create a novel educational tool for chemistry students using forensic chemistry principals.
