I’m Vivien Perrelle, a scientific software engineer working on laboratory automation and AI for science. I help automation teams adapt and deploy existing laboratory workflows for new instruments, configurations and software integrations.
PyLabRobot contributor · creator of LabBridge · ex-R&D at PKvitality · founder of Finexov.
Selected Works
LabBridge
Open-source software for experimental data, with replayable execution, traceable observations and tests for recovery after failures.
Lab Automation Log Audit
Reproducible audit of real Chemspeed and batch-distillation logs asking what a successful software command actually proves about physical execution.
epibudget
Built an open-source experimental-design tool that chooses protein variants by the interaction structure they expose under a fixed lab budget.
Scientific Claim Verifier
Open-source engine that verifies cited scientific claims against their sources with deterministic, traceable provenance and regression-tested evaluation.
Finexov
Built an AI platform for public-funding applications and sold it to consulting firms.
PyLabRobot Contributions
Contributed structured lifecycle events for plate readers, imagers and thermocyclers, making software operations easier to trace.
