Ethan Edwards Email & Phone Number

Freelance python developer with a robust background in Astrophysics and deep learning and over two years of professional experience in coding, construction, customer service, and coastal defence engineering. I am committed to leveraging my broad skillset to address complex real-world challenges. Currently, I lead cutting-edge projects in machine learning and natural language processing, developing and deploying sophisticated algorithms designed to enhance user experiences and operational efficiency. My work is focused on the practical application of AI to create scalable solutions that improve data utility and ensure privacy.Recent achievements include winning a Hackathon and a three-month research project titled "Detecting Galaxy Mergers from Synthetic Images Using Machine Learning Techniques." Utilising convolutional neural networks and data from the Illustris-TNG simulations, my study demonstrated that AI can surpass human performance in identifying galaxy mergers, offering a significant advantage in managing the growing volume of astronomical data.During a year-long industrial training with HR Wallingford’s Marine, Coastal, and Hydraulic Engineering team, I gained hands-on experience in advanced simulation and physical modelling techniques. Our efforts were crucial in designing flood defences for Hinkley Point C, featured in the BBC documentary “Building Britain’s Biggest Nuclear Power Station.”Beyond my professional endeavours, I am an active participant in competitive Olympic weightlifting and perform with two distinguished choirs, honing skills that reinforce my commitment to teamwork and excellence in every pursuit.
