I am the primary author and maintainer of Gap5 a sequence assembly visualiser and editor permitting high level contig editing (joining, breaking) along with low level base by base editing if desired.

I have a keen research interest in data compression techniques, some are which are found in htscodecs and fqzcomp5. Some of this work has made its way into the CRAM file format, of which I co-maintain the specification and am the author of the C implementation. This work is incorporated into the htslib/samtools packages.
