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.
