A byte of learning

Welcome to my site!

This site/blog is a repository of interesting technical things and a showcase of the some learnings with a few bits of code.

About me - I am a research scientist in the biopharmaceutical industry. I model pre-clinical and clinical data and try to help decision making in drug discovery and development.

I am interested in scientific computing, modeling of biological data and open-source development in general. As such, I am interested in scripting languages such as R, MATLAB, Julia, Python and a little bit of C/C++. I am also interested in visualization of biological data, literal programming, statistics and gaining an understanding of analysis methods/techniques used in pharmacokinetic and pharmcodynamic modeling.

About this blog - This blog is made using R and blogdown package and uses hugo as the static site generator. The theme used is hugo-xmin. Both blogdown and hugo-xivy have been developed by Yihui Xie (of rmarkdown and bookdown fame). I decided to go with this minimalistic theme as it gives a sufficient framework to begin with but provides ample opportunities for understanding web development and tweaking/adding features to the site.

Thanks for reading!
