Python
cloudfitCloud-agnostic machine type recommender for batch and bioinformatics workloads. Given a workload spec (CPU, RAM, region, optimize for cost / performance / availability), returns ranked instance recommendations with transparent per-factor scoring. Multi-package OSS ecosystem: scoring engine (
cloudfit-core), GCP provider (cloudfit-provider-gcp), and a stateless FastAPI service (cloudfit-api) with a multi-region bundled snapshot. Built to fill the pre-launch and batch-workload sizing gap that incumbent free tools (Compute Optimizer, GCP Recommender, Azure Advisor) don't cover.$ pip install cloudfit-core cloudfit-provider-gcp -
Python
clinopsClinical ML pipeline toolkit: MIMIC-IV / FHIR loaders, temporal feature windows, and patient-aware train/test splits that don't leak across cohorts. Distilled from production work in clinical and genomic data engineering.
$ pip install clinops -
Python
samplesheet-parserFormat-agnostic parser for Illumina
SampleSheet.csvfiles. Auto-detects IEM v1 vs. BCLConvert v2, validates index integrity with Hamming distance checks, and converts, diffs, or merges sheets across mixed sequencing fleets.$ pip install samplesheet-parser

Why I built cloudfit
Launch post. The gap between free cloud sizing tools (Compute Optimizer, GCP Recommender, Azure Advisor) and what I actually needed for new batch and bioinformatics workloads. Why an open-source recommender that doesn't need historical metrics from a running workload.
