How I got here
I started with a Computer Science degree at Monash, where deep learning and mobile development were the courses I enjoyed most, and I am now studying a Master of IT (Artificial Intelligence) at the University of Melbourne.
What I care about is finishing things: collecting messy data, making it structured, wiring up APIs and storage, putting a usable interface on top, and testing it. That is the thread through the stock-forum analysis system, the climate fact-checking pipeline and the splitB iOS app.
Outside coursework I build interactive 3D and VR things, and I like the parts of engineering where hardware, data and interface meet.
