Hi, I'm Jana. I enjoy doing several things like coding, learning "human" languages, running and boxing.
I've been doing that since 2011 when I came across programming during my degree in Sweden where I took courses in genetics, mathematics and programming.
In 2014, I began my career at the Sanger Institute in Hinxton, UK. Here's a list of places I've worked at: Wellcome Sanger Institute, illumina and Citrix.
I'm now working as a contractor. Exploring new skills, building software and looking for my next adventure.
I grew up speaking Arabic and English. Whilst I was in Sweden, I learned Swedish and discovered a love for foreign languages. So I decided to learn some more. I picked up French (again) since it was already around in my family growing up.
Now speaking 4 languages to a varying extent, my next goal is Mandarin Chinese :)
Je trouve ça très intéressant de voyager en parlant la langue de chaque pays.
Throughout different seasons of my life, I've remained interested in boxing, basketball and running.
My current 5k PB is 26:27 minutes and I'm now focussing more on longer distances.
Bouldering is something I'm curious about and would like to try next.
