About Me

I'm a student at The University of Sydney and currently interning at Visagio Australia. I am pursuing a Bachelor of Science (Honours), majoring in Mathematics and Data Science. During my internship at Visagio Australia, my focus has been in technical projects related to data analytics and simulation modeling.

I have a passion for analytical problem-solving which drives my academic journey. I've honed my skills in Python, SQL, Tableau, and AnyLogic to tackle complex challenges in the realm of data and statistics.

Throughout my studies at the University of Sydney, I've received recognition for my dedication and achievements. Some notable awards include the Citadel Prize for Second Year in Mathematics and Statistics, the Farrand Science Scholarship, the Plumian Scholarship, the Dean's List of Excellence in Academic Performance, the University of Sydney Academic Merit Prize, the Citadel Prize for First Year in Mathematics and Statistics, and the USA Foundation Prize in Statistics.

My Resume

Work Experience

Visagio Australia

Data Science/Technical Consultant Internship at Visagio Australia (October 2022 - Present)

During my internship I focus on technical projects related to data analytics and simulation modeling. I worked as the lead script and workflow developer for a year-long project within the Business Research and Analytics team of a major national rail transport provider. I developed integrated Python and SQL workflows to identify and quantify opportunities for safety improvements. The project deliverables included dynamic Tableau and PowerBI reports for internal customers.

I also worked within a Tier 1 mining company to create interactive animations in AnyLogic that visualised a discrete-event simulation forecasting production in seven mine-to-port value chains. In addition, I produced input data and distributions based on historical production data for discrete-event simulation.
