About

I turn messy data into useful things - sometimes maps, sometimes models, sometimes just peace of mind. With experience across government, startups, and research labs, I've loved diversifying my portfolio and would continue to do so. I'm fluent in Python, pixels, and policy dashboards. Currently making sense of services and systems at the NSW Cabinet Office, with a soft spot for NLP, embeddings, and making complex stuff surprisingly explainable. Always curious, occasionally caffeinated, and perpetually building something cool.
