Timeline
2024 - Present
Continuing research on Japanese NLP tools in spare time...
2024 - Present
Started as a Software Engineer in Microsoft Australia, based in Melbourne, working in the Azure Cosmic Team.
2022 - 2024
Began work as a Software Engineer for ANZ Bank in the ANZx Division, which is focused on building the platform for the new ANZ Plus Mobile App.

My main area of expertise resides in distributed systems and cloud technologies (particularly Google Cloud). Usually spend my day with Golang/Java.
2022 - 2023
Was an Academic Tutor for the COMP10001 Foundations of Computing Subject, a core subject for First Year Undergraduate Students majoring in Computing and Software Systems.

Taught roughly over 100 students on a weekly basis on the fundamentals of programming, data structures and algorithms.
2021 - 2022
Started my first professional job during University as a Java Software Engineer in NAB (National Australia Bank) with a focus on developing a highly scalable distributed system of Microservices in NAB's Transaction Lifecycle Management Team.
2020-2021
Entered an internship with CSIRO, Australia's National Research Agency, as a Machine Learning Research Student on Object Detection Models with CNNs (Convolutional Neural Networks) using Tensorflow, Keras and the OpenCV Library.
2019 - 2021
Obtained my Bachelor of Science from The University of Melbourne, Majoring in Computing and Software Systems. Graduated with First Class Honors.
Personal Projects
(Github Project Link) An experiemental flutter app which implements spaced repetition to allow for Kanji memorisation. This was done to have a personalizable tool for myself to learn the specific words I was looking to learn in preparation for the JLPT (Japanese Language Proficiency Test) N2 Exam (as I was dissatisfied with the other tools in the market).
(Still in progress, check out this demonstration!) 勉強 or (勉-You), pronounced BEN-KYO-OU, is a website aimed to assist learners of Japanese as a Second Language using AI inspired features or techniques. The idea came about after feeling like I was making little progress with my Japanese learning, paired with the hinderance of not having a reason to use it day by day, so I made a simple website to initially to solve these woes. With an influx of ideas and suggestions from friends, I've decided to make it less of a selfish tool, and instead a proper platform for other learners.
Sortify.io was created with a University mate of mine to aid users/students in the visualization of multiple different sorting algorithms. I enjoy using it as a teaching tool now and then to demonstrate how different sorting algorithms behave under different input conditions.
(On hold) VR Haptic Gloves - Wanting to learn more about the VR/AR space, I attempted to build my own prototype of VR haptic gloves, in essence, gloves that would allow you to interact with Virtuality Worlds with some sense of feedback.

Applied for the blackbird foundation Protostar Grant and was awarded AUD $1000 to continue working on this project.

Due to problems associated with 3D Printing prototype designs, this project will be on temporary hold until a viable solution is found. From time to time I find myself digging through Valve's OpenVR Codebase out of curiosity for how things work under the hood, or inspiration for other VR related projects.
