About Me

A electrical and electronic engineering graduate from Imperial College London with a passion for reinforcement learning, machine learning and software engineering. In my final year I undertook all modules based around AI as well developed my financial, corporate and economic understanding through modules in the Imperial Business School.

In my free time I mainly like to work on investigating and solving complex control and decision making problems utilising the latest reinforcement learning techniques. Most recently I have been working on recreating the DeepMind AlphaGo AI using only the Python 3.8 stock libraries. This includes building optimised search algorithms, game logic, developing neural networks from scratch as well as simple Flask web deployment.

What I Do

Machine Learning

I have been actively interested in every aspect of this field encompassing everything from simple linear regression to computer vision, time series prediction, reinforcement learning and much more.

Mathematics and Statistics

I have always enjoyed mathematics and still actively learning the latest and most advanced methods of analysis. Most recently I have delved into Bayesian statistics and have been learning to solve problems with tools such as Tensorflow Probability.

Software & Data Engineering

The first programming language I learnt was Java when I was 15 years old. From there I picked up C++, Python, F# and C#. Right now my preferred language is Python but I believe that every language is fit for purpose and the problem you are trying to solve should dictate which language you use.

Tutoring

I have always taken great joy in seeing people progress in subject areas that excite me. As a result I have been actively tutoring since year 11. I have taught people as young as 8 and as old as 18. I have taught pupils mathematics, physics, programming as well as music production.
