Research data platforms
Python packages for lab data management and dataframe manipulation
Loris
I built Loris as a database system for the Behnia lab at Columbia. The lab used it daily for data entry, maintenance, and analysis. It was designed for a Drosophila lab but flexible enough for other research labs. The lab has since moved to a different tech stack, so this project is no longer maintained.
Puffbird
A pandas extension for handling DataFrames with complex nested cells. I built it because I kept running into multi-valued columns that were painful to work with. Some features have become redundant since pandas added explode and similar methods, but the library still fills gaps for certain workflows. Maintained at an irregular rate.
