Summary
I’m a final-year Bachelor of Advanced Computer Science (Honours) student majoring in Data Science at UWA, graduating in December 2025 with a WAM of 76. My main programming languages are Python and R, which I use for data analysis, modelling, and building reproducible workflows. I enjoy turning data into insights that drive decisions and have experience communicating results to both technical and non-technical audiences. I’m keen to apply my analytical skills and curiosity to maintenance and reliability work with IronMan, and to keep learning through real-world experience.
