Who AM i

My Story

Computer Scientist, Algorithms & Systems

I'm a Computer Science graduate from Adelaide University with a focus on algorithms, optimisation and applied machine learning. I've informally led a 10-person team to a top-10 finish in an industry-partnered compression competition with Maptek, researched LLMs as automated bug-detection tools, and benchmarked algorithmic approaches to the Traveling Salesman Problem. Outside of research, I run my own tutoring business teaching high school Mathematics and Physics.

  1. Certificate III in ICT (Game Development)

    December 2021

    Completed a course with AIE in game development foundations, receiving a Certificate III in ICT.

  2. 2D Physics Game

    October 2023

    Built a 2D game with real-time physics from scratch over a weekend, in a 2-person team, using C and Visual Studio.

  3. Traveling Salesman Problem

    June–October 2024

    Benchmarked multiple algorithmic approaches to TSP, evaluating tradeoffs in time complexity and solution quality.

  4. LLM Bug Detection

    February–June 2025

    Investigated the viability of large language models as automated bug detection tools versus traditional static analysis.

  5. Voxel Compression

    July–October 2025

    Placed in the top 10 teams in an industry-partnered compression algorithm competition with Maptek. Informally led a 10-person team and independently implemented a core compression component in C++ that was incorporated into the final solution.

  6. Co-Founder & Tutor

    January 2026 – Present

    Grew and maintain a private tutoring business, teaching up to 3 students a day across high school Mathematics and Physics, with personalised lesson plans.

  7. Bachelor of Computer Science (Advanced)

    March 2026

    Graduated from Adelaide University with a GPA of 5.792, completed entirely before the merger.
