I am Camila Duitama González, a Research Software Engineer with 5+ years of experience building production-ready scientific software, reproducible analysis pipelines, and computational infrastructure for genomics. I am based in Paris and open to new opportunities. You can read my CV here.

I work at Institut Pasteur in the Evolutionary Dynamics of Infectious Diseases group led by Dr. Sebastian Duchene. I previously completed a PRAIRIE-funded PhD and postdoctoral fellowship under the supervision of Dr. Rayan Chikhi and Dr. Hugues Richard. Over the years I have authored and published multiple open-source tools actively used in ancient DNA, metagenomics, and genome sequence analyses, with work published in journals including Nature Microbiology, Oxford Bioinformatics, and Microbiome. My most recent project, DIANA, applies deep learning to the authentication of ancient DNA. I combine domain expertise in computational biology with a technical stack spanning Python, C++, AWS, and HPC clusters, which lets me work across research and engineering.

I hold an MSc in Life Science Informatics from Universität Bonn and a B.Eng in Biological Engineering from Universidad Nacional de Colombia.

Outside of work, I dance salsa and explore decolonial, anticapitalist, and anti-imperialist artwork and readings.
