About Me

Background

As an early career Data Scientist,  I am passionate about applying my skills and knowledge in machine learning, data analysis, and data visualization to solving real-world problems.

I recently completed a Masters of Data Science from the University of New South Wales, graduating with Excellence.  Prior to that I completed a conjoint undergraduate degree majoring in Statistics, Computer Science, and Mathematics.

Beyond data I am a passionate tennis player and frequently made miserable by the New York Mets.

Experience

Data Scientist

Orbis Diagnostics 2025 -

My primary duties at Orbis have been the analysis of large-scale experimental data to further our goals in research and development. I have supported this work with the creation of Hippa and ISO compliant databases both for day-to-day operational work as well as clinical study data collection.

In addition to this, I have performed tasks as needed by Orbis, including:

  • Leading a project that reduced total production time by 30%, freeing up staff capacity to focus on higher-value, non-production tasks.
  • Reviewing international regulations on software and data management in diagnostics, ultimately enabling me to author standard operating procedures to ensure ongoing ISO and regulatory compliance. Compliance in these areas is crucial to our ongoing FDA submission process.
  • Performing internal audits to ensure ISO 13485 compliance.
  • Conducting day-to-day hands-on production tasks to enable research. In support of this, I designed and produced multiple tools which reduced 'sticking points' in workflows.
