Welcome to my GitHub page

I'm Jakob, a biologist-turned-programmer, happy in my role as a research software engineer.

I work as a software developer at Statens Serum Institut. Biologically, my interests are phylogenetics, molecular evolution, and viral and bacterial genomics. On the computer science side, I'm a Julia, Rust and Python enthusiast, contributing to BioJulia and Julia I particularly enjoy writing optimized and generic software packages for bioinformatics.

Highlighted work:

Selected repositories

• Vamb - variational autoencoders for metagenomic binning
• Alen - simple terminal alignment viewer.
• BinBencher.jl - metagenomic binning benchmarking and analysis software
• LibDeflate.jl - bindings to the fast de/compression library libdeflate
• MemoryViews.jl - low-level view into Memory in Julia
• MinHash.jl - efficient, generic minhashing.
