I'm a published researcher in the field of astrophysics with a passion for data science and data visualization. I am currently completing my MSc in astrophysics at University of Cape Town (UCT) and expect to graduate in December 2024.
I'm a proficient full stack python developer with 12 years of coding experience and contributions to a number of open-source scientific computing and visualization libraries. I am passionate about open source and have authored and maintain a number of software libraries for applications in astronomy. I have extensive experience in statistical model building and using machine learning to gain valuable insights into data. I have participated in, and later led independent research into developing machine learning models for predicting the onset of seizures in patients suffering from epilepsy using EEG data.
My main hobbies are outdoor adventure sports such as rock-climbing and high-lining, and I have led- and participated in numerous international expeditions to remote mountainous regions on earth.
