About

I’m an experienced engineer and current Master of Science (Statistics) student at the University of Queensland. My particular interests are in evolutionary algorithms, reinforcement learning, automatic curricula and open-endedness.

Previously I've worked as a quantitative developer designing algorithms and building trading systems for high-frequency trading firms. I've also co-founded and exited a startup to a NYSE listed company.

Projects

tailbench Benchmark environment for measuring p99 latency of a target program in a Rust async runtime. Allows new test levels to be automatically generated with a small parameter set.
autoresearch Custom harness for running auto-research style experiments. Used to run experiments with an actor-critic style multi-agent setup.

generation 0 — 1 individual

μ 1.1

A branching process. Each individual leaves Poisson(μ) offspring. Try some different values of μ! Population on a log scale.
