What I'm looking for

I am looking for opportunities that allow me to apply my data science skills in a collaborative environment, focusing on innovative projects that drive business growth and efficiency.

I am currently a second-year Master of Data Science and Decisions student at the University of New South Wales, where I focus on leveraging data-driven insights to solve complex problems. My academic journey has been complemented by practical experience through three internships and a full-time role in quantitative finance and marketing, where I honed my programming and analytical expertise.

My graduate research on Investment Portfolio Based On Neural Networks showcases my ability to blend financial engineering with advanced machine learning techniques. I have also contributed to the academic community as a teaching assistant, facilitating Python tutorials and enhancing students' data analysis skills. My goal is to continue developing my skills in data science while contributing to innovative projects that drive impactful results.
