Hey, I'm Florian 👋

Senior Bioinformatics Engineer @ Seqera — the company behind Nextflow

I help life sciences and biotech teams get their computational workflows running in the cloud. My work sits at the intersection of pipeline development, cloud infrastructure, and making bioinformatics accessible to scientists.

Previously: cardiovascular genetics research (PhD, University of Muenster + CHU Ste Justine research center) → spatial omics & multiplexed imaging (postdoc, Institute for Computational Biomedicine, Heidelberg).

🔬 What I work on

Nextflow pipelines — building, optimizing, and deploying reproducible bioinformatics workflows at scale
Cloud infrastructure — AWS Batch, GCP, Nebius, Kubernetes (including GPU workloads with H100s for protein design)
nf-core — contributor & maintainer, creator of nf-core/molkart for multiplexed tissue imaging analysis
Computational protein design — nf-proteindesign pipeline (Boltz-2, ProteinMPNN, OpenFold3)
AI + Bioinformatics — exploring LLM-powered workflow orchestration, MCP integrations, and agentic tooling for scientific computing
