Context:
A genomics research institute partnered with multiple hospitals to conduct a large-scale clinical study on rare genetic disorders. The study required processing terabytes of genomic and patient data across distributed systems. The client tasked us with building a secure, scalable, and high-performance computing environment for clinical data analysis and storage.

Resolution:
Our team implemented a multi-layered security architecture to ensure compliance with HIPAA and GDPR standards. User-friendly interfaces were developed over Unix terminals to support clinical staff with limited technical expertise. Shell scripting automated ETL pipelines for genomic and clinical data, while tools such as awk, sed, and grep were used to preprocess large datasets efficiently.

Result:
The system enabled real-time data sharing across institutions, reduced data processing time by 50%, and enhanced auditability and regulatory compliance.
