Hi there!

I am currently a student at Monash University, where I study a Bachelor of Computer Science and Commerce, majoring in Data Science and Econometrics. I was the Publications Director for the Monash Computing and Commerce Association (CCA), where I write about tech related things that interest me and oversee the management of the Pubs Team

Outside of Uni, I've contributed to research on Topic Modelling at CSIRO’s Data61, Australia's national science organisation. Within the industry, I've worked at Coles Group and The Commonwealth Bank - both times as a Data Science Intern, which gave me lots of cool insights into data - and how it can be leveraged from both a retail and banking perspective

I am broadly interested in the realm of machine learning for both its research and industry applications. Especially as the field continues to evolve and its usecases expand, it's exciting to think about where data science goes from here!

Feel free to check out any of my personal works below, and happy reading!

Cheers!

James
