What I'm looking for

I am looking for remote-first opportunities that foster innovation and collaboration in data science and AI.

I am a Machine Learning Engineer with a decade of experience in data science and analytics, delivering multimillion-dollar business outcomes for both Australian startups and Fortune 500 companies. My journey has taken me from pioneering machine learning strategies in e-commerce to leading groundbreaking projects in cybersecurity and life sciences. I am recognized for my problem-solving abilities and my commitment to finding innovative solutions to complex challenges.

Throughout my career, I have successfully led technical initiatives that have resulted in significant cost savings and efficiency improvements. For instance, at Q-CTRL, I saved up to 50% on AWS infrastructure costs and reduced the time for characterizing quantum computers by 100x. My work has consistently focused on leveraging advanced machine learning techniques to drive business success and improve operational efficiency.

I am currently seeking remote-first opportunities in data science, machine learning, and AI, where I can continue to apply my expertise and contribute to innovative projects that push the boundaries of technology.
