About Me

I am currently a second year Masters candidate in the Department of Mathematics and Statistics at the University of Victoria. I am working with Dr. Ryan Budney on Topological Data Analysis (TDA), specifically in Persistent Homology (PH). We are aiming to charactize the statistical noise that is present in the PH barcode diagrams, which could help users gain robust insights into the important topological features of their data without specialized education. Accomplishing this in turn could effectively position TDA as more of a "black box" model, encouraging increased uptake of these methods in the wider data community.

Outside of my academic pursuits I am a professional software engineer with specialties in R, Python, SQL, GraphQL, .NET Core, C#, Rails, React, Next, and Node, with experience in various other languages and frameworks which are (mostly) listed below. In my time off I enjoy practicing and competing in Jiu Jitsu, spending time gardening or in nature, doing odd jobs around the house, and getting plenty of family time.
