Biography

I enjoy being challenged by and faced with new problems. I have a passion for mathematical optimisation and analytics. I am also a strong advocate for the use of computer technology as a means of performing tasks more efficiently and reducing the complexity of data analysis. Furthermore, I am fascinated by artificial intelligence and machine learning as techniques for gaining new insights into data and processes.
