The Next Step

I am fully focused on the space where clinical diagnostics and software engineering meet. I am completely committed to the medical science field in Sydney. I am actively seeking clinical roles, specifically in pathology collection or as a medical laboratory assistant, to ground my university coursework in practical patient care. I am also highly interested in research assistant opportunities where I can apply my technical skills to solve problems in the lab. If you are running a clinic, managing a research lab, or building health tech, I would love to connect.

The Learning Curve

I am currently studying a Bachelor of Medical Laboratory Science (Pathology) at Charles Sturt University. This session, I am taking on a heavy, advanced diagnostic workload:

  • Haematology I: Analysing blood disorders and systemic responses.
  • Histopathology I: Identifying the exact microscopic tissue signatures that define a patient’s outcome.
  • Microbiology II: Isolation and identification of pathogenic microorganisms.
  • Immunology: Understanding the mechanics of the body’s defence systems.

Building: Clinical Tools & Infrastructure

I prefer building practical tools that serve a personal or clinical utility. I am currently finishing the development of several active projects:

  • TubeTutor: A clinical logic engine designed to eliminate phlebotomy errors. It uses a Python ETL pipeline to process test data and automatically calculate the required specimen tubes and strict order of draw.
  • PokeBinder: A custom web app designed to represent the data from my physical collection, using a Python pipeline to fetch high-resolution artwork and track set completion via OCR.
  • PlexIndex: I maintain a homelab with over 100TB of live media storage. I recently built a Python to Supabase sync bridge that archives my local Plex library into a searchable cloud database for my friends.
  • HistoHelper: A tool to process SVS (Whole Slide Images), which are gigapixel representations of tissue biopsies.
    • The Research Question: Can an AI model differentiate between a melanoma that metastasised to the lung vs. one that metastasised to the brain based solely on the morphology of the primary skin lesion?

Curating Collections

  • Trading Cards: I curate an extensive physical collection of trading cards, which serves as my motivation and dataset for my PokeBinder project.
  • Games & Consoles: I collect physical games and hardware. I have always appreciated owning the actual physical media rather than relying entirely on digital storefronts and cloud libraries.
  • Self-Hosted Media: My homelab acts as the central hub for my massive digital media archive and now hosts SVS images I am using to train HistoHelper.
