J. Austin Anderson

CG(ASCP)-certified Cytogenetic Technologist building clinical AI, laboratory informatics, and workflow-automation projects.

I use this GitHub to document a transition from hands-on clinical cytogenetics into applied AI, LIS/interface analysis, data systems, and practical software engineering. My portfolio emphasizes synthetic data, validation-minded design, reproducible documentation, and tools that connect laboratory domain knowledge with modern technical workflows.

Featured Projects

A full-stack learning platform built with FastAPI, SQLite, Docker, GitHub Actions, and a vanilla-JavaScript frontend. Its swappable, CI-validated content-pack architecture includes a fully synthetic CytoFISH education domain.

  • Live demo
  • Automated pytest and Playwright browser test suites (current counts in the repository)
  • Accessibility, Docker-build, and content-governance checks in CI

An analyst-first, synthetic cytogenetics/FISH LIS and interface simulator demonstrating relational data modeling, workflow validation, audit trails, outbound HL7/FHIR-style messages, inbound ORU-style result ingestion, and interface error-queue handling.

  • Requirements-to-test traceability and manual UAT documentation
  • Automated pytest suite, end-to-end demo scenarios, and CI on Python 3.11/3.12
  • Synthetic data only; no PHI or proprietary clinical-system content
  • Built to demonstrate LIS/interface-analysis and validation thinking

A sanitized portfolio view of a private home lab for Linux administration, secure remote access, infrastructure-as-code, storage design, backup verification, and future AI/data services.

  • Generalized architecture and bounded verification evidence
  • Security, backup, recovery, and change-control design
  • Automated privacy checks on files and new commit metadata
  • Foundation for future self-hosted AI and laboratory-informatics projects

Current Technical Focus

  • Clinical AI and laboratory informatics
  • LIS and healthcare-interface concepts
  • Python, SQL, FastAPI, and data modeling
  • Linux, Docker, GitHub Actions, and reproducible environments
  • AI-assisted workflow automation
  • Privacy-conscious and validation-aware system design

Clinical Background

  • CG(ASCP)-certified Cytogenetic Technologist
  • Experience with chromosome analysis, FISH workflows, assay validation, QC, troubleshooting, training support, and clinical laboratory operations
  • Domain perspective spanning oncology, constitutional, prenatal, solid-tissue, and plasma-cell workflows

Engineering Principles

  • No patient data or employer-confidential information
  • Synthetic or public data for portfolio work
  • Clear scope and honest capability boundaries
  • Validation, traceability, testing, and change control
  • Reproducible documentation over undocumented experimentation
  • Practical systems over superficial demos

Portfolio Direction

I am building toward roles at the intersection of clinical laboratory science, healthcare informatics, AI engineering, interface analysis, and workflow technology. The goal is to combine real clinical-domain judgment with the technical depth required to design, validate, explain, and improve modern laboratory systems.
