Senior Software Engineer & Team Lead
I'm Carlos Cruz-Castillo, a full-stack software engineer and team lead specializing in data-centred applications and data visualization. I build across domains — from genomics and drug discovery to IoT, smart cities, and AI-powered tooling — bringing the same focus on usability and engineering quality to each.
Currently, I lead the front-end team at Open Targets (European Bioinformatics Institute), where our platforms serve 50,000+ researchers globally, each month. With over 10 years of experience spanning healthcare, IoT, and scientific computing, I've published research in Oxford Bioinformatics and built production systems supporting critical drug discovery pipelines.
Recent Highlights
