Background

About Jacob Wert

At the intersection of life sciences and cloud technology, I help healthcare and life science startups build scalable foundations for innovation. As a Solutions Architect at AWS, I combine my hands-on laboratory experience with deep technical expertise to bridge the gap between scientific discovery and cloud implementation. My journey from bench science to cloud architecture, anchored by a biotechnology degree from UC Davis and a master's in bioinformatics from NYU, gives me a unique perspective in translating complex biological workflows into efficient cloud solutions. Drawing from my experience at companies like RAPT Therapeutics and Genentech, I specialize in designing cloud-native architectures that accelerate scientific discovery. I've led successful migrations from on-premise systems to cloud infrastructure, built sophisticated data pipelines for clinical research, and implemented knowledge graphs that unlock insights from complex biological datasets. My background in bioinformatics and biotechnology allows me to speak both the language of science and technology, making me a valuable partner for life science startups navigating their cloud journey.
