\section{About Me}
% ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- %
I'm a published researcher in the field of astrophysics with a passion for data
science and data visualization. I am currently completing my MSc in astrophysics
at \uct and expect to graduate in December 2024.\\
%I have led a number of successful science proposals employing the
%\acrlong*{salt} (amongst others) to study the rapid variability of an enigmatic
%class of binary stars known as magnetic Cataclysmic Variables, and to date have
%(co-)authored 10 peer-reviewed scientific publications. %
%
I'm a proficient full stack {\tt python} developer with 12 years of coding
experience and contributions to a number of open-source scientific computing and
visualization libraries. I am passionate about open source and have authored and
maintain a number of software libraries for applications in astronomy. I have
extensive experience in statistical model building and using machine learning to
gain valuable insights into data. I have participated in, and later led
independent research into developing machine learning models for predicting the
onset of seizures in patients suffering from epilepsy using EEG data.\\
% I also have a keen interest in applying Bayesian reasoning to scientific applications
%and I am currently developing a framework for the analysis of astronomical
%video data in order to study the physics of accreting plasmas.
%
%I have experience in cluster computing, having made extensive use of the SAAO
%Mons/Mensa clusters for data analysis during my PhD.
My main hobbies are outdoor adventure sports such as rock-climbing and
high-lining, and I have led- and participated in numerous international
expeditions to remote mountainous regions on earth.
