I am a software engineer with over 10 years of professional experience on systems ranging from tiny embedded medical microchips, through to web applications and high-performance supercomputers. I grew up in a small town in rural Australia then completed a PhD at Monash University applying information compression to the protein structural alignment problem. Now I live in the Netherlands with my lovely wife and three children. Currently, I work for VIB Technologies building web applications. You can find out more about me here: https://james.thecolliers.xyz/

Embedded system engineer in the automotive industry by training, I have always aimed to work in research. After a detour in the US and attempting to work in the industry, I refocused on my primary objective and moved to Belgium to pursue a career as a research software engineer in bioscience.

I founded my own freelance company to help various laboratories improve the quality of their software production. For the past year, I have been working with labs and startups in Belgium, France, and Switzerland across different scientific domains, including neuroscience, MRI segmentation, and cell sequencing.
