Biogen Data Visualization Platform

Developed an interactive data visualization platform for Biogen's research and development team, enabling scientists to analyze and visualize complex biological data.

Biogen Data Visualization Platform

As a front-end engineer at Biogen, I developed a sophisticated data visualization platform that empowered scientists to analyze complex biological data through interactive visualizations and real-time data processing.

Key Features

  • Interactive data visualization dashboard
  • Real-time data processing and filtering
  • Custom charting components
  • Advanced search and filtering capabilities
  • Export functionality for research reports
  • Collaborative annotation tools

Technical Implementation

The platform was built with a focus on performance and scientific accuracy:

  • React for the front-end application
  • D3.js for custom visualizations
  • TypeScript for type safety
