I'm a researcher at DeepHealth, a registered healthcare professional, and hold a PhD in artificial intelligence. Outside of work my main passions have been programming and sports.
I’ve been passionate about programming for as long as I can remember. I started building websites over 15 years ago and spent much of high school creating small computer games for fun. That early interest eventually evolved into a deep focus on machine learning, which became the cornerstone of my academic work and now my professional research. Along the way, I’ve also grown increasingly interested in cloud infrastructure and self-hosted systems.
Sports have always been an essential counterbalance to my work. I started with race rowing during university, drawn by the intensity and team dynamics. Over the years, I transitioned to endurance sports—first triathlon and ice skating, and more recently road running. I enjoy the structure of training, the mental clarity it brings, and the way it sharpens focus in other areas of life.
This website is a space where I share my research, side projects, and the occasional story from other areas of life—whether it’s sports, travel, or the latest experiment I’m running on my home server. Any views expressed here are entirely my own and do not represent the positions of any affiliated institutions. If something here resonates with you or sparks your curiosity, I’d love to hear from you.
