You have reached the homepage of Roland Hannes Niedner, who once was an aspiring medical doctor but finds himself as caBIG evangelist. If you are interested you can read more on how, why and when.

I work as the technical lead of the New Generation Biology Workbench (aka SWAMI) hosted by the San Diego Supercomputer Center (SDSC). While I have primarily targeted Bioinformatics and Medical Informatics I am actually earning my living with Java infrastructure code. My current development tasks, designing and implementing the SWAMI SDK, are unspecific and might as well be applied in banking or retail.

I would like to come back to my roots, thus I am on the lookout for opportunities that take better advantage of my multi-domain background (medicine, oncology, molecular biology, bioinformatics, system engineering, databases and ontology). If you have an opening for a highly motivated team leader please find my resume here.

Before my professional career led me to the United States I lived most of my live in a city called Jena. Jena is locatated in the heart of Germany in the green state Thuringia. I was born in Erfurt the state capital.
