Hi, I'm Theo

Ex-quant developer at Optiver and CS graduate from Melbourne uni. After two years of work, I decided to take a gap year to travel, found my own AI project, and explore where I want to take my career next — which led me to health tech/clinical AI.

Having explored it independently through a couple of projects, I'm now looking for a role where I can contribute technically and gain more exposure to this space.

Open for work :)
