I am the type of person that will take others at face value; I judge people by deed or word, not by what others may say or do about them. I tend to be thoughtful and objective, but passionate about what is important to me.

I hold a first-class honors degree in computer science and received an Australian Postgraduate Award scholarship for a Ph.D. in 2006. I have published several articles in international peer-reviewed academic journals, none of which are particularly interesting :)

I was born and raised in Queensland, Australia, where I currently live, read, and listen to music with my partner and two children.
