Software Engineer, WIP: PhD in AI
My goal is to leave the world a better place than I found it. I plan to bring that goal into reality by creating technology which improves the quality of life. These goals have motivated my passion for software engineering and the open-source community as a tool for sharing knowledge. This objective has led me to a voluntary internship at NIWA, collaborating with scientists and physicists to publish their research on our oceans and atmosphere to a global audience. Software is a medium to explore my scientific curiosity and contribute a meaningful change.
Mentoring, Podcasts, Interviews, Speaking Engagements, Consultation.
Hello There. I am Jesse and I write code and enjoy doing it! I intern as a Software Developer for NIWA . We do water and atmospheric research. Studying towards a Bachelor of Software Engineering at Victoria University . Big interest in Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence. Advocate for open-source technologies; avid user of Twitter , Signal, Firefox, Thunderbird, Linux, ... (the list goes on) The work with NIWA involves implementing web applications to showcase research from NIWA scientists to the public. We use an open-source tool stack, with applications like GeoServer, MapServer, Leaflet, NZODN . Some of my hobby projects include Game development and Web Design . I like to stay up to date with new technologies and learn new languages to expand my horizons. Outside of software, my interests include playing guitar, philosophy, history, psychology, astrophysics, being an Elon Musk fanboy, general nerdery and PC gaming. I use this platform to share learned experiences and useful knowledge with others, so we can all learn together. Cheers,
