Put it in an online repository (such as GitHub) and start piling up your small tools. This repository can later be converted into a nice portfolio.
Who is your biggest inspiration? Beyond the paycheck, why do you wake up and work each day?
SB: I am my biggest inspiration apart from some past societal and academic experiences. Although good role models in the workplace can help you so much in your current learning, ultimately you need to figure out yourself and what you need to make your life better, in the present and future. The next important thing is to discover your weaknesses and strengths to follow and realize the dream. Being modest, humble and self-critical makes you much lighter in your life and in turn, pushes you to learn more and update yourself.
DKM: As a bioinformatician, I have one inspiration from biology and one from the computing world. The biologist is Carl Woese. He was a pioneer in identifying microorganisms by their marker gene; Carl revolutionized microbiology and even discovered the Archaea phylum. My inspiration from the computing field is Hadley Wickham, who creates tools for the data sciences and has put a lot of work in defining user-friendly ways to help people interact with computers. In particular, Hadley Wickham has created very efficient ways for us to explore data and represent it with graphs.
What do you like to do when you are not crunching numbers and sequences?
SB: Outside my working hours, I spend as much time as possible with my family, my wife and daughter. Cooking is my favorite stressbuster, along with spirituality.
