About Me

I'm a passionate software developer with a First Class Honours degree from The Australian National University, specializing in Machine Learning. Currently, I'm building scalable systems and intelligent applications at the Australian Signals Directorate.

My journey spans from training deep learning models for state-of-the-art chess engines to architecting microservices that process thousands of documents daily. I thrive at the intersection of software engineering and artificial intelligence.

When I'm not coding, you might find me mentoring junior developers, contributing to open-source projects, or presenting research at international conferences like the IEEE Conference on Games.
