Selected work

Research that moves between theory and systems.

From frequency-domain vision to explainable code provenance, I am interested in methods that expose useful structure—and in building them far enough to test.

About

More than a model and a metric.

I am a Machine Learning Researcher and Master of Data Science student atThe University of Queensland. My work focuses on computer vision, deep learning, and the mathematical structure behind model behaviour.

Alongside research, I teach subjects ranging from deep learning to capstone software delivery, work part-time as an AI engineer, lead industry partnerships for UQ Computing Society, and build tools designed to survive outside a notebook.

Across the stack

Research, teaching, leadership, and execution.

The common thread is turning difficult ideas into something other people can use, understand, or build upon.

Let’s work together

Have an unusual machine-learning problem?

I am interested in research collaborations, technical projects, and conversations about frequency-domain vision, model behaviour, or tools that connect research with practice.
