Hello!

Welcome to my web. This is a personal project I decided to put together during a career break (which also gave me the chance to pick up some basic html and css skills along the way). Here, I plan to share small data analysis projects I work on during my spare time.

But let me introduce myself. My name is Oliver and I'm a molecular biologist (Ph.D.) with a passion for data analysis/science. I have 18+ years of experience in biotech and biopharma research, during which I've built solid expertise in data analysis, genetic engineering and high-throughput screenings.

I'm a curious person who enjoys learning new things and taking on fresh challenges. If you'd like to know more about me and my skills, feel free to check out my CV, or just drop me a message using the form below.
