About
Background
I am Jason Hernandez, a biochemist who lives at the edge between wet lab work and code. Most of my recent time has gone into protein assay development, high-throughput screening, and the work of making data clean enough to trust.
Heat Shock Pineapple is the umbrella I use for my work in science, computation, photography, and writing. The name is a nod to the heat shock proteins I studied at UCSF—molecular chaperones that keep other proteins from falling apart when conditions get rough.
How I work
I like building experiments starting from the analysis. First comes the question, then a definition of what good signal looks like. After that I design controls, plate maps, and QC metrics that make that signal obvious.

If you are working on assay-heavy biology and want someone who can think in both pipettes and scripts, I am happy to talk.
