About

Short version: Machine Learning Engineer focused on open-source AI and health. Loves teaching and making complex topics understandable. Long version: I teach computers how to learn and make YouTube videos and write about the crossroads of technology, health, science, philosophy and life. People first, technology second. Heavily skewed optimist. Curious about everything. I love getting hands on with a technical problem. But nothing excites me more than communicating it’s benefits to others. From getting involved with the nut and bolts of a deep learning network to pitching a 48-hour hacked-together MVP at a hackathon. I have no troubles getting up and talking to people about any topic I’m interested in. If it excites me, you’ll find me talking (or writing) about it. I grew up as an overweight teenager. I had a strict schedule. School 8:00am-3:00m, Xbox 3:30pm-11:00pm. This kind of dedication led to my Xbox team being number 1 in Australia for Modern Warfare 2. We slayed it. After high school, I got fit. I sold my Xbox and built a pull-up bar in my backyard. I failed my first two years at university due to having a lack of meaning (and laziness). When I combined my interest of health and fitness with what I was studying, my results left the stratosphere. This is the only way I work now. I use my interests as rocket fuel. I plan to merge my love for health and technology. I’m going to utilize the power of artificial intelligence to help people move more and eat better.
