For the last 6 years I have been studying and working on a variety of jobs and projects over a diverse range of mathematics, statistics and computer related topics. In 2011 I graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Mathematics from the University of Queensland, one of Australia's leading universities. I have since spent time taking additional courses and working as a research assistant and freelance developer. Today I am aiming to further develop my skills in machine learning and data mining, my goal is to find work as a data scientist.During my time as a student at the University of Queensland my studies included pure mathematical analysis, scientific computing, statistics and machine learning. I have strong skills in several programming languages used in scientific computing and data analysis such as Matlab, R and Python, specifically Numpy and Scipy. I have also developed skills in business analysis and operations research.Having worked on several interesting projects in the field of image analysis and operations research I have a solid understanding of scientific computing. During a three month scholarship with Australia's preeminent scientific research organisation, the CSIRO, I implemented my own version of a new image segmentation algorithm using R and in-house image analysis tools. Following from this project I worked with a computational neuroscience laboratory, developing automated image analysis tools to help them process and analyse extremely large data sets of image sequences, this time using Matlab. The software solution I developed included a graphical user interface, providing excellent usability and data visualisation capability. The total data analysis throughput has now greatly been increased for this project.Recently I have been working on a small data mining and process optimisation project involving finding better ways to match customer orders to production equipment for an Australian pharmaceutical packaging company.
