I'm building AI voice agents for healthcare at Heidi.

I also teach in the Master of Artificial Intelligence program at the University of Melbourne.

I completed a PhD in Human-Computer Interaction at the University of Melbourne (2022–2026). My thesis, Enhancing Smartphone Sensing Through Screen Text, focused smartphone sensing, NLP, and LLMs, and was supervised by Prof. Vassilis Kostakos and Dr. Simon D'Alfonso.

I hold a BSc (Hons) in Computer Science with First Class Honours from the University of Auckland (2019–2022). My dissertation, Evaluating the Effectiveness of Responsive Visualisation within a Breathing Application, was supervised by A/Prof. Danielle Lottridge.

Outside of work, I love music and music technology, and spend my spare time playing, producing, and experimenting with sound.
