Walk into the future with me! - Kornel Labun
About me
I am Kornel, a sole architect of this website, therefore all that you find here is about me and my meandering endeavors. A little about me: I am rich like bioinformatics, handsome like design patterns, comical like blockchain and I am smarter than your favourite untrained machine learning algorithm. Currently a researcher at the University of Bergen. Do you like to fixate on some matter for a while? I do this quite often. Actually, all the time. If I manage to bring to completion any of my projects I will share them here. I hope you will find my fixations as entertaining as I did. Currently, the dream is to finish a board game inspired with Reverend Insanity.
Resume
Here is my pdf resume.
Figure 1. My growth over years. Measured using my subjective and personal perspective, and normalized toward my all time performance.
Projects
Below you can find a selection of some of my projects, the topics that interest me are usually related to bioinformatics, blockchain, RPGs, manga & japan, design patterns, game theory, longevity, and origin of life. Projects I have put here are just some things I think are worth sharing, maybe you will find them useful for some purpose!
Hunter x Hunter tabletop RPG
If you ever wanted to play a tabletop RPG set within the Hunter X Hunter universe you are lucky!
I have searched the depths of the internet and found no rulebook, nor any guidance. After thorough research I have decided that it's best to extend the rules of Fate Core to accomodate what we want. Here is a google document with a set of additional rules and guidelines to make RPG within the Hunter x Hunter universe possible. Gather your friends and give it a try!
leagueofdraft.com (not maintained)
I have created a league of draft when I was still playing League of Legends to calculate which character to select for gameplay to maximize probability of winning the game.
Website algorithm was using as much information as the user was willing to disclose, even allowing to account for personal win rates of specific game characters, choices of opponents, natural counters and win rates mined periodically from other websites.
Project was created in node & angular with best practices for the web in mind. Code (on github) is an example of how to build scalable interfaces that can easily handle thousands of requests per second.
I had stopped updating the project and maintaining the website as I wanted to sever my ties with the game completely.
CHOPOFF (julia package and R interface)
CHOPOFF is bioinformatics CRISPR software for finding all potential off-targets for all of your gRNAs. It's super fast and sensitive!
CHOPCHOP website provides a free service for design of CRISPR experiments.
Website is extremely popular resource for scientists with thousands of user requests per hour from all over the globe. Related papers have also gained thousands of citations!
ampliCan (R package)
ampliCan is bioinformatics software for analysis of next generation sequencing after the CRISPR experiment. It's completely automatic and produces html reports with beautiful figures. This work of mine is related to my PhD. Check out Bioconductor to learn more. You can find a visual representation of the main pipeline in the picture below.
ORFik (R package)
ORFik is bioinformatics software that will supplement your analysis of Ribo-Seq, Cage-Seq, and RNA-Seq data. It is optimized for speed to handle huge amounts of data. Check out vignettes for what it can do!
