About

Generalist with experience in Tech, Sports, Music, Promotion, Film, Law, Finance, Construction, Logistics and Transport.

Born in Australia, living in the Bay Area, CA.

In 2023 after seeing ChatGPT, I went all in on AI and coding, focusing on building CRL Vision building Robotic Cameras and Automated Systems for Sports and Manufacturing.

I am passionate about computer vision, Robotics, Python, and JavaScript. I’ve built hundreds of computer vision models, fine-tuned LLMs, developed websites and dashboards, and worked extensively with embedded systems to deploy computer vision solutions.
