Andrew García Jean

I want to combine my background in biology with software development to support the scientific community through my code. I’m currently looking for my first professional opportunity.

About Me

2018 - 2022
BSc in Biology
2022 - 2023
MSc in Bioinformatics & Biostatistics
2024 - 2026
Self-learning in Software Development

Academic Background

I hold a Bachelor’s in Biology and a Master’s in Bioinformatics and Biostatistics, where I worked on research projects ranging from entomological data analysis to clinical trials. This experience made me feel at ease working across different biological contexts.

Transition to Software

After completing my Master’s, I decided to shift into software development. Coming from a biological background, I had a lot to learn, not only about programming, but also about things like hardware, operating systems and even typing efficiency. Then, I focused on web development, covering version control, frontend and backend fundamentals and the application development process. Now I don't think like a biologist smashing keys, I think like a developer.

Strong Point

I have both an analytical and a creative side. I’ve always had strong analytical skills, especially in understanding how things work. At the same time, I enjoy building things. I’ve explored music, writing, drawing and game design. Each of them has challenged me to learn quickly, adapt, and turn ideas into actual projects.

Current Goal

I’m now seeking remote opportunities where I can apply my scientific background and technical skills to real bioinformatics problems. Remote work allows me to collaborate efficiently while maintaining the independence that have shaped my learning path.

Soft Skills

Autonomy in Problem Solving

Nothing gives me more satisfaction than tackling a problem on my own and finding a solution independently.
Meticulous Attention to Detail

My rigor has allowed me to achieve excellent results in Mathematics, Statistics, and later in Biostatistics.
Cross-Disciplinary Learning Agility

I love exploring two vast worlds, such as Biology and Computer Science, and I enjoy even more applying knowledge from one to the other.
