I build GenAI data products and scalable machine-learning systems.
AustraliaWhat I'm looking for
I build data science products with AI at Xero, where I’m a Senior Data Scientist focused on GenAI.
Previously at WooliesX, I worked on optimization, and at Zero Latency VR I established data capabilities from the ground up using Airflow, Dataform, BigQuery, and Looker.
At Electronic Arts, I developed a recommendation system that boosted revenue by $100K per month, operated ML pipelines on GCP, and led a studio migration from PowerBI to Looker.
Before industry, I led and supervised research at Swinburne University of Technology, published five peer-reviewed articles, and used Python and statistical modelling to communicate complex findings to technical and non-technical audiences.
