More context for people who want the full path.

Background

My background is in biology and bioinformatics. I did my Bachelors at the Nacional Univeristy of Colombia, my Master's at JGU Mainz, spent two years at BioNTech benchmarking ML predictors for cancer immunotherapy, then two more at the German Cancer Research Center building tools for immune receptor data — reproducible pipelines, FAIR-compliant storage, the kind of work where getting the data structure right matters more than moving fast.

From there I moved toward teaching focused development: I led the development of DATAxHub at Leuphana University, a JupyterHub-based platform that brought programming and data literacy to over 1,200 first-semester students across disciplines and teach 2 semesters as a tutor.

In 2024 I completed a Federal Ecological Voluntary Service with the Biocyclic Vegan Network, contributing among others, to open-data infrastructure for vegan organic farming worlwide. That's also where Schlachtindustrie Deutschland began taking shape — and where the vgn.dev work properly started.

What I build now

I develop data platforms, apps, and web tools for projects working on animal advocacy, food systems, and public knowledge. The technical depth comes from the research years. The direction comes from everything else.

Current and recent projects are on the main page.

Beyond the work

I'm involved in harm reduction and substance use disorder prevention as a volunteer — working with organizations that educate and promote safer practices. I support animal sanctuaries where I can. Yoga and Vipassana meditation are a consistent part of how I live.

None of this is separate from the work. It's why the work points in the direction it does.
