đź‘‹ About Me
Hello! I'm Warren Buenarte, a passionate data scientist with a unique background bridging biology and advanced analytics. I'm pursuing my Master's degree in Data Science at Western Governors University while holding a dual degree in Biology and Biochemistry from the University of Washington.
With hands-on experience at Meta as a Data Quality Analyst Intern and as a Medical Scribe at UW Medicine, I've developed a deep appreciation for using data to solve real-world problems in technology and healthcare. My expertise spans machine learning, statistical analysis, data visualization, and AI applications.
I'm particularly enthusiastic about biotechnology applications of machine learning, leveraging cutting-edge AI techniques to advance scientific discovery. When I'm not working on data projects, you can find me at DubsTech events, exploring emerging technologies, or contributing to open-source projects.
Feel free to explore my work through the navigation menu above, and don't hesitate to reach out if you'd like to collaborate!
🔬 Laboratory Experience
My laboratory background is grounded in rigorous coursework and extensive hands-on training at the University of Washington, including:
- BIOL 302: Molecular Biology Techniques – Mastered DNA/RNA extraction, PCR, Western and Southern blotting, and the use of BLAST for sequence analysis. Gained experience in designing and troubleshooting molecular experiments, and interpreting results for gene expression studies.
- MICROM 302: Microbiology Laboratory – Developed strong aseptic technique, performed microbial culturing, isolation, and identification, and conducted Gram staining and other diagnostic assays. Learned to work safely with microorganisms and maintain accurate lab records.
- MICROM 410: Bacteriology Lab – Applied advanced bacteriological methods, including bait protein assays and antibiotic susceptibility testing. Enhanced skills in experimental design, data analysis, and scientific communication through detailed lab reports and presentations.
These experiences provided me with a robust foundation in experimental design, molecular and microbial techniques, and scientific problem-solving. I am adept at troubleshooting protocols, maintaining meticulous documentation, and applying critical thinking to both laboratory and data-driven research. My lab work has instilled a deep appreciation for precision, reproducibility, and the scientific method—values I bring to every project in biotechnology and data science.
BIOL 310: Human Anatomy and Histology
Gained in-depth knowledge of human anatomical structures and tissue organization through extensive lab work. Performed dissections, prepared and analyzed histological slides, and learned to identify key features of major organ systems under the microscope. This course strengthened my understanding of the relationship between structure and function in the human body.
MEDCH 327: Drug Science
Explored the science of drug compounds, immunity, and pharmaceutics. Conducted experiments on drug formulation and delivery, studied the mechanisms of drug action, and examined the role of the immune system in pharmacological responses. Gained practical experience in analyzing drug efficacy, safety, and the principles of pharmaceutical development, including the impact of chemical structure on biological activity.
