My name is Dan Keith. I consider myself an Engineer, Scientist and Programmer, although my degrees say I’m a Computer Scientist and my career says I’m a Programmer or Software Engineer.
Professional Work
I currently work as a Bioinformatics Semantic Engineer at OSU (Oregon State University) in Corvallis, Oregon. I am part of an internationally distributed team of software developers, biologists, bioinformaticians and other scientists who make up the Monarch Initiative. We build Open Source tools, ontologies and databases that collect, refine and semantically integrate diverse biological knowledge from a variety of species and sources, and provide APIs and user interfaces to make this data available as Open Data.
