My name is Brandon, and this is just a place for me to share my thoughts and learnings.

I tend to jump between various topics of interest, and I’ve realised that I need a way to stay consistent. The true purpose here is to provide myself with a space to share the things I am currently learning.

I am interested in machine learning, optimisation theory, and anything related to data and decision science, so you will find the majority of my posts will relate to one of these topics.
