I am a software developer with a particular interest in astronomy applications.

My academic background is in gravitational waves, where I worked as part of the LIGO Scientific Collaboration developing search algorithms, and running searches, for continuous gravitational waves. I am also interested in tools such as virtual laboratories for scientific data processing.

Currently I work within Astronomy Data and Computing Services (ADACS) at Swinburne University as a programmer and data scientist, working on software projects across Australian astronomy. My areas of special expertise are optimisation, using graphics programming units (GPUs), and project management.
