I'm Kübra Narcı, a Bioinformatician at the GHGA Workflows Team based in DKFZ (German Cancer Research Institute), specializing in worklfow development mostly using Nextflow. With a strong passion for creating reproducible, optimised and FAIR-compliant workflows, I contribute to advancing bioinformatics standards and tools.

I’m also proud to be a Nextflow Ambassador, actively supporting and promoting the Nextflow community by sharing knowledge and best practices in workflow development.
