My experience in studying various aspects of computer science and working as a data scientist has given me a fabulous platform to create and understand complex systems.
What really fascinates me though, are the methods and practices of designing and engineering the ways in which we can successfully interact with these systems, whether that system is a website or a neural network.
As a result, my goal is to pursue further research in Artificial Intelligence, HCI, Human-Centred Computing, and Human-Centred AI as a whole.
In my spare time, I enjoy being outdoors and active.
I especially love hiking and snowboarding in the mountains.
I am a keen snowboarder and I have official SBINZ Level 2 Snowboard Instructor certification.
As well as enjoying mountain sports, I like to run, bike, surf and play the occasional round of golf.
As a creative outlet, I produce music with Logic Pro X and design accompanying album covers.
International travel is very important to me.
I take great pleasure in experiencing new cultures and meeting new people.
