  1. 01

    Evals.

    I led a 4-person evals team building production-grade test suites with AI-simulated patients and LLM-as-a-judge scoring, gating deploys in CI and tracking metrics.

  2. 02

    Research in clinics.

    I conducted user research and interviews with clinics across Australia, finding pressing administrative problems and designing a fitting solution.

  3. 03

    Wired into practice software.

    I connected the agent to Core Practice and Praktika through our own adapter layer, so appointments land straight in each clinic’s system.

  4. 04

    Onboarding in hours.

    I automated the clinic onboarding process end to end, from creating the clinic’s account to configuring its agent, so new trials could start with minimal manual setup.

Open source builds.

Reedline

A browser-based design tool that turns photos and video clips into reeded-glass artwork.

Reedline

A browser-based design tool that turns photos and video clips into reeded-glass artwork. A custom WebGL shader recreates how ribbed glass bends, splits and frosts light, with live controls for the pattern, colour dispersion, reflections and imperfections. Clips are decoded frame by frame with WebCodecs and export as high-resolution PNGs or looping MP4s. Every glass clip on this site was made with it.

SafeLift

I co-built this winning project at Hack for Humanity Adelaide 2026: a coaching tool that helps care workers practise safe manual handling. Gemma vision checks the room against a resident’s handling plan, MediaPipe flags risky posture in real time, and a risk model trained in Snowflake shows trainers where tasks, plans or equipment need fixing.
