Work History

Software Engineer /Data Scientist /Video Game Designer

Arcane Labs
Brisbane
03.2023 - Current

Currently serving as LEAD developer and programmer on several projects including:

  • Rewriting code and output of established electronic alignment system in order to transform all mathematical operations being performed on its existing spherical coordinate framework.
  • Creating requested customized software solution for stock price prediction. This software uses data analysis and machine learning algorithms to extract key trends and features from historical stock price data files, and can be used to predict future stock performance.
  • Designing and coding new fantasy role playing game utilizing Unreal Engine. Performing deeper level coding (using C++ and Python) to incorporate all necessary AI, logic and game features.

Software Engineer /Data Scientist /Physicist

Koeberg Nuclear Power Station
Cape Town
