}My current work sits at the intersection of Python application development and data tooling — building dashboards and pipelines that surface intelligence for research and ML investigations. I am targeting graduate programs in Genetics, Genomics & Bioinformatics (GGB) to extend this work into the computational biology domain.
Interactive Streamlit dashboard consuming the ClinicalTrials.gov v2 API and NIH MeSH ontology. Multi-filter search (status, phase, intervention type, agency class, date range), Plotly visualizations, LLM-assisted query refinement, and CSV/PDF export.
