Experience

Honours Research · Agent Memory

Feb 2026 — present

University of Technology Sydney (UTS)

  • Researching conflict resolution for agent memory: how a system should answer questions when the facts it has stored contradict one another, across single-hop and multi-hop question answering.
  • Evaluating retrieval, RAG, and memory-agent baselines to build a failure taxonomy, then a pipeline that detects and reasons over conflicting facts, with the multi-hop split (FC-MH) as the main target.

Machine Learning Summer School

Jun 2024 — Jul 2024

Amazon

  • Selected for Amazon's Machine Learning Summer School, an intensive program led by Amazon scientists.
  • Deepened foundations across supervised learning, deep learning, and applied ML on real problems.

Machine Learning & Deep Learning Specializations

Jan 2024 — Aug 2024

DeepLearning.AI · Coursera

  • Completed both specializations (Andrew Ng), from optimisation fundamentals through modern neural architectures.

Selected Works

My honours research: how an agent's memory should answer questions when the facts it has stored contradict each other, across single-hop and multi-hop QA.

A browser survival game where crafting and story aren't hard-coded: a language model dreams up what your combinations become and narrates the world around them.

A pipeline that first finds a cat's face, then decides whose cat it is: detection followed by identity verification through learned embeddings.
