About Me


I'm interested in applying Data science and Machine Learning concepts, especially to renewable energy or other environmental projects. I studied physics at the University of California Santa Barbara. I recently began studying Mechanical Engineering at the University of Melbourne .

I'm a coding enthusiast, climber, musician and generally curious individual.
