// 01. About

Who I am

I'm a software engineer based in New Zealand, recently graduated with a Bachelor of Engineering (Hons) in Software with an AI specialisation from Victoria University of Wellington.

I have a genuine interest in AI and ML. I enjoy keeping up with the latest research, experimenting with new tools and models, and building projects in my own time just to explore what's possible.

I'm actively looking for graduate software / AI engineering roles and open to opportunities anywhere. Relocation isn't a problem, and if you think I could be a good fit for your team, I'd love to hear from you.
