Early-career software engineer with a Master of IT (Cyber Security) from UTS and hands-on experience building AI-assisted, data-centric applications. I have worked on Python-based validation pipelines, LLM integration, and prompt engineering, with evaluation of local models (e.g., Phi-3 Mini) alongside Google Gemini. I’m comfortable working independently or in a team, writing clean and well-tested code, and quickly learning new tools. I also have experience with spreadsheet-driven data analysis and business reporting using Excel, Power Query, and Tableau.

Work Experience

Industry Project Student (Internship) at LIXI Ltd
August 1, 2025 - November 1, 2025
Designed an AI-assisted XML validation pipeline in Python using lxml. The system processes large XML files (~25,000 lines) and detects schema violations in under 5 minutes. Enhanced the validation workflow by evaluating local LLMs (including Phi-3 Mini) and selecting the Google Gemini API based on error classification and repair effectiveness. Built LLM-driven repair suggestion capability by using prompt engineering to generate actionable fixes for validation errors, while keeping rule-based checks for deterministic validation. Improved LIXI’s Samples Repository by enhancing standards compliance across loan application message samples, helping raise consistency and quality of XML message outputs.
Associate Software Engineer at Desk Nine Private Limited (SignDesk)
September 1, 2022 - January 1, 2024
Developed and maintained backend REST APIs using Node.js and Koa.js, and contributed to front-end applications using Angular and JavaScript. Worked in a live production codebase, handling bug fixes and implementing new features. Collaborated with JSON-based APIs and supported data processing tasks as part of product development and delivery. Focused on reliability, maintainability, and adherence to engineering best practices while shipping improvements to existing systems.
