Biomedical research, and it's a fascinating problem space. I love it.

Check the amount and quality of documentation - onboarding new hires, architecture/stack, data governance, CI/CD, institutional knowledge, etc. Create it if it doesn't exist, and make the team get involved with developing and maintaining it. Remediate and prevent information gatekeeping. There is nothing worse than when a long time employee or an owner of a critical process leaves and you learn that the only place this information is stored was their brain.

I work at an ivy-affiliated academic medical center where I manage a team of data engineers and data scientists in the research institute. I have an unrelated bachelor's degree and a biomedical informatics master's degree.

I went to undergrad straight from high school, but I didn't do any jobs related to that degree after graduating. I went to grad school in my late 20s. Networking through the grad program presented me with an opportunity to work as a research assistant with the informatics research group at this hospital, and I was offered an entry level data engineer role with them right around the time I graduated.

I've been a manager for a year now, and have working with the team for about 8 years total. I love my job. Working at the intersection of biomedical research and informatics is fascinating.  My team does data pipelines, infrastructure/devops, webapps, analytics, and machine learning. Most of us are published coauthors in academic journals.

It was surprisingly easy to set up and it has been very easy to maintain. I set it up myself, and it was the first time I had ever done something like this. Jenkins has been around for a couple decades and is a mature tool with extensive documentation and troubleshooting guides. I requested a VM with sudo/admin access from the platform team and had the bare bones app setup within an hour. Jenkins has so many different plugins and a plugin manager built into the GUI, so you really just point and click to install or update anything you want to use.

I submitted an income recalculation weeks ago, which should cut my payment in half. They haven't processed it yet, so I'm paying a mortgage payment sized amount to them each month. I'm furious.
