Interested in building intelligent, efficient, and scalable data solutions.
About
My background combines research and software development, with a particular interest in solving complex problems involving large volumes of data. During my PhD at the University of Melbourne, I worked on developing intelligent approaches to improving database performance, gaining experience in predictive modelling, time-series analysis, and experimental evaluation.
I enjoy exploring how machine learning can be applied to real-world systems to make them more efficient, scalable, and responsive.
Research
Using semantic representations of query results and workload context to anticipate future data access in exploratory workloads.
Investigating how data semantics can inform cache replacement decisions beyond conventional access-history signals.
modelling patterns in evolving query sequences to support adaptive and intelligent data-management decisions.
