-                I’ve loved making things for as long as I can remember, and
-                wrote my first program when I was 6 years old, just two weeks
-                after my mom brought home the brand new Macintosh LC 550 that I
-                taught myself to type on.
+                I’m a computer scientist at Monash University specializing in
+                optimization and devoted to developing cutting-edge tools and
+                modelling languages that simplify the process of solving complex
+                problems. With a passion for advancing the field, I contribute
+                to the optimization field, enhancing its efficiency, and
+                facilitating its practical application.

-                The only thing I loved more than computers as a kid was space.
-                When I was 8, I climbed the 40-foot oak tree at the back of our
-                yard while wearing my older sister’s motorcycle helmet, counted
-                down from three, and jumped — hoping the tree was tall enough
-                that with just a bit of momentum I’d be able to get to orbit.
+                Building from a foundation in constraint programming, I have
+                gained experience in Boolean satisfiability, mathematical
+                modelling, local search, various hybrid method. With the wide
+                range of optimization technologies at my fingertips, it enables
+                me to approach optimization challenges from many angles. This
+                allows me to facilitate the creation of innovative software
+                solutions that streamline the formulation, solution, and
+                analysis of optimization problems.

-                I spent the next few summers indoors working on a rocket design,
-                while I recovered from the multiple surgeries it took to fix my
-                badly broken legs. It took nine iterations, but when I was 15 I
-                sent my dad’s Blackberry into orbit and was able to transmit a
-                photo back down to our family computer from space.
+                At the heart of my work is a commitment to making optimization
+                more accessible and user-friendly. By developing intuitive tools
+                and modelling languages, I want to empower researchers,
+                practitioners, and anyone willing to learn to effectively
+                address complex optimization challenges across a wide range of
+                domains. I hope that my work not only enhances the effectiveness
+                of optimization technologies, but also fosters innovation and
+                improvements in other industries.

-                Today, I’m the founder of Planetaria, where we’re working on
-                civilian space suits and manned shuttle kits you can assemble at
-                home so that the next generation of kids really <em>can</em>{' '}
-                make it to orbit — from the comfort of their own backyards.
+                When I’m not solving optimization problems, I love bird
+                watching, music, and cycling. The beauty of the avian world has
+                captivated me ever since I moved to Australia. Music brings me
+                solace. I’m always looking for new songs with interesting
+                melodies or striking lyrics. Cycling always gives me a sense of
+                freedom. You find the most wonderful places, if you stray from
+                the beaten track even slightly. These pursuits bring me joy and
+                inspiration.
