Overview

Experienced Data Scientist and consultant with expertise in Statistical Modelling, Machine Learning and Bayesian Methods. I've worked in both Australia and Germany across financial services and consulting, and have studied mathematics and statistics at a tertiary level in both Sunny Queensland (Australia) and the UK.
