Business Intelligence Specialist

Quest Diagnostics

Detailed-oriented Senior Scientist in CLIA/CAP certified diagnostic testing laboratory.  Responsible for clinical assessment, development, and validation of diagnostic testing LDTs, focused on NGS sequencing data analysis.  Designed dashboards and data visualizations to monitor assay performance and optimization.
•	Identified areas of improvement for new assays, from initial DNA extraction through final library construction, by generating quantitative and qualitative analysis from various data streams utilizing Tableau, Excel, and Alteryx workflows.
•	Monitored turnaround time and assay repeats by creating stakeholder-specific Operational dashboards for tracking KPIs for live assays.
•	Produced weekly and monthly progress reports of data trends and recommendations, effectively communicating key findings and insights to both internal and external B2B stakeholders.
•	Reduced manual time needed for generating and reporting data trends, with Python scripts using LINUX and DNAnexus cloud platform, successfully resulting in more efficient and effective processes.
•	Performed accuracy and precision study analysis on validation data sets to ensure robust assay quality.

Senior Scientist, Data Analytics- R&D, Advanced Diagnostics Molecular Genomics & Oncology

•	Led a high-performing genetics technical team responsible for developing and validating Neurology product line assays, utilizing extensive expertise in DNA sequencing and DNA variant detection assays to ensure the successful launch of high-quality products.
•	Oversaw project planning, assay design, and development to ensure the successful achievement of MVP launch milestones by meeting business goals and deadlines.
•	Designed R&D experiments and directed wet lab development and validation of genetic assays from initial experiment proposals through final report approvals to achieve a high-quality product.
•	Authored White Papers, clinical report language, technical SOPs, and other internal documentation through product launch for approval by to Scientific and Medical Director.
•	Conducted clinical gene assessments for new tests and managed the life-cycle of existing tests, to evaluate gene content and clinical utility to understand the value of adding or removing genes from products.
