Sydney, Australia
Hi, I'm Jamie.
Curious about almost everything. Documenting some of it here.
I'm studying mathematics, physics, and computer science at UNSW Sydney, while pursuing research in machine learning, information retrieval, and applied mathematics. Alongside research, I've had the opportunity to teach undergraduate computer science at UNSW.
Beyond my academic work, I enjoy exploring the world through surfing, hiking, travel, photography, poetry, music, physics, philosophy, and stargazing.
This website is a record of the things I've learned, built, written, photographed, and wondered about along the way.
