About me
I'm a machine learning leader, researcher and data engineer with 19+ years
of experience in developing and improving state-of-the art
machine-learning research algorithms and turning them into useful,
reusable code that can make life easier for researchers, software
engineers, and everyone else!
I'm a Data Science Leader
I've led the Learning Analytics Team at TAFE NSW for 5 years, helping grow
the ability of TAFE NSW to take a data-science approach, including prototyping
and evaluating AI and ML techniques, to improve the learning experiences for
vocational training across the entirety of TAFE NSW.
I have enjoyed supervising PhD students in the past and have done occasional
seasonal academic work.
Throughout 2017, I worked with the University of Queensland developing
an exciting new Masters of Data Science, and I enjoyed
developing datasets and teaching material that helps in the training
of future professional data scientists.
I have also done some mentoring with CoderDojo Brisbane,
and helping kids get excited about coding is pretty awesome.
I'm a geospatial enthusiast and OpenStreetMap evangalist
When I was still in Brisbane, I ran local events for the OpenStreetMap
community. So, if you came here looking for OpenStreetMap events in
Brisbane, please go have a look at the
Brisbane Events Page on the OSM Wiki to see if something is happening.
Armidale is a bit quiet for this sort of thing, but it would be great
to get similar events running here.
I've been an OpenStreetMap member since 2007, and was
responsible for a lot of the original mapping and social events in
Brisbane, Australia. I'm seeking to apply my AI and machine-learning
experience into GIS applications that can help the OpenStreetMap community.
I've worked in medical machine learning
In the past, I have done some machine-learning consultation work with two
exciting medical machine-learning start-ups, Wink Health in
California, and M3dicine in Brisbane. It's great to be
able to help medical professionals and the general population to get
access to improved health care through innovative signal processing
and machine learning.
I've been a speech and video ML researcher
I have been working with audio-visual speech since 2004,
and loved showing that visual information is almost always
complementary to acoustic over a wide range of applications.
A large part of my post-doctoral experience focused on conducting research,
development and commercialisation of state of the art speaker recognition
and diarisation research.
I have publications
As of March 2023, I have 1,664 citations across more than 90 publications,
with 44 publications having more than 10 citations, and a h-index
of 21. More details, and a full list of publications can be found on
my Google Scholar profile.
