In a world of developing AI tools and its increasing involvement in human lives I have been curious to know how it works. Though my background is masters in biochemistry, never studied bioinformatics so I am curious to know and learn new things. I am really excited for my journey ahead. I am planning to be a tool developer and design such tools which has applications in the field of medicine, developing treatments and procedures for patients.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Mr.<\/strong> Mayank Kumar
SPA (Technical)<\/strong>

I am a passionate bioinformatician with a solid background in software engineering. My work combines biological science with programming to develop user-friendly software that addresses real-world biological problems. I\u2019m particularly excited about utilising machine learning and deep learning to develop advanced applications, databases, and web services. My goal is to connect computational biology with practical tools that deepen our grasp of complex biological systems. Throughout my research, I\u2019ve built several tools and databases. A highlight is RamPlot, a web server that generates 2D and 3D Ramachandran plots, providing researchers with quick insights into the geometry of protein structures. I also created STDdb, a curated database for sexually transmitted diseases, which offers critical data for both research and public health. Another important project is PeptDesigner, a software that models peptide and peptidomimetic tertiary structures, aiding scientists in designing new peptides for drug development. My most recent work, I developed S8kPred, a model that predicts protein secondary structure with greater accuracy than existing methods, improving the overall prediction of protein 3D structures.

Mr. Kamran Khan Alwi
Project Associate – I<\/strong>

I\u2019m a Generative AI & Full-Stack Developer passionate about building intelligent systems that solve real-world problems. From AI-powered chatbots and Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) systems to web automation and scalable applications, I thrive at the intersection of technology, automation, and innovation. My journey started with a deep curiosity about JavaScript, which soon grew into an obsession with web development, machine learning, and AI-driven solutions. Over time, I\u2019ve built expertise in:
Technical Skills: Programming: Python, JavaScript, TypeScript, Java
AI & Machine Learning: Generative AI, LLMs (LLaMA, LangChain), NLP, RAG, TensorFlow, Scikit-Learn
Web Development: React.js, Next.js, FastAPI, Express.js, Node.js
Databases: SQL (PostgreSQL), NoSQL (MongoDB, ChromaDB – Vector DB)
Automation & Data Processing: Web Scraping (Selenium, BeautifulSoup), OCR, Data Pipelines
When I\u2019m not developing, I\u2019m either immersed in novels, exploring literature that fuels creativity, or wandering through the city, uncovering hidden gems that add fresh perspectives to my day. I believe that technology, much like storytelling, is about creating experiences that make an impact.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
