Building Scientific Tools for the 21st Century

I’m excited to introduce Cordillera Labs, a company dedicated to building better scientific software to accelerate research and let researchers focus on the problems that matter.

Our Mission

Scientific research moves at the speed of its tools. Too often, researchers are held back by software that’s difficult to use, difficult to share results with, and riddled with fragility that leads to impossible to reproduce results. We’re here to change that.

At Cordillera Labs, we focus on several core principles:

Scientific software should be fast. Experiments should flow smoothly from idea to execution. We build tools and pipelines that reduce friction, automate repetitive tasks, and let researchers focus on science instead of troubleshooting software or debugging fragile scripts.

Collaboration should be easy. Science is a team effort. Software should be designed to make it simple for researchers to share code, data, and workflows across labs, institutions, and disciplines. Proprietary tools, one-off scripts maintained by no one, and vendor lock-in on closed platforms are not welcome here.

Workflows should be reproducible. Research should be verifiable and buildable. We develop systems that capture every step of the analysis process, ensuring that results can be validated, extended, and trusted.

What We Do

We specialize in bioinformatics software, building custom software solutions that range from analysis pipelines to full platforms. But if you are interested in working with us on tools to accelerate other disciplines, we’re happy to help with that too! Whether you need a tailored tool for a specific research problem, a short term analysis on contract, or consulting to improve your existing computational workflows, we’re here to help.

Let’s Build Better Science Together

Whether you’re working on challenging problems and want custom software to help, trying to scale automation, or just trying to fix that broken bash script, we’d love to hear about your project!
