Professional profile
Software developer and applied machine-learning researcher with current commercial experience building payment-platform software. I work across C#, .NET, TypeScript, Vue, REST APIs, Python, and modern machine-learning frameworks. My background spans computer science, engineering research, design, and a decade of university teaching. I have first-author peer-reviewed publications in applied machine learning and visual-mathematical literacy, and a Master of Information Technology focused on generative models for environmental time-series data.
Technical skills
Software engineering: C#, .NET, JavaScript, TypeScript, Vue, Azure DevOps, REST APIs, Git, and CI/CD; Docker and AWS.
Machine learning: supervised learning, feature engineering, model evaluation and cross-validation, time-series forecasting; scikit-learn, PyTorch, TensorFlow/Keras.
Deep learning: neural networks for computer vision, sequence modelling, and generative modelling.
Data and modelling: Python, NumPy, Pandas, SQL, Matplotlib; probability and statistical inference, exploratory data analysis, uncertainty quantification, nonlinear optimisation, techno-economic modelling, and longitudinal modelling.
LLMs and agents: LLM API integration, structured document extraction, agentic workflows, and evaluation.
Research interests
How representation choices shape what models can learn; making models work where data is sparse and incomplete; mathematical modelling of physical and economic systems; visual-mathematical literacy.
