I am a Christian, who likes maths and code, and wants to change the world, one equation at a time.
I enjoy learning new things, good conversations, spending time at home and working in the garden.
I currently work at InstaDeep as a research scientist in machine learning.

I was born in England, but moved to the Eastern Cape in South Africa when I was 7. I grew up in East London until I finished school.
In 2016, I moved to Stellenbosch to study engineering and start a new chapter of my life. In 2021 I met Magdaleen, and we got married the next year. We live on a farm, just outside of Stellenbosch, with a beautiful view of the mountains.
I am a Christian, who believes in the God who created the heavens and the earth.
I matriculated at Selborne College in 2015. I then started studying at Stellenbosch University and completed my bachelor’s in mechatronic engineering in 2019.
I continued at Stellenbosch as a graduate student, and in March 2023 I earned my PhD in Electronic Engineering. After graduating, I remained at Stellenbosch as a postdoctoral researcher, working at the intersection of robotics and machine learning.
In 2024, I started working at InstaDeep as a research scientist in machine learning. I currently work on projects involving language models, multi-modal models, reinforcement learning and finetuning.
