I’m a chemical/process engineer from Australia; working as a consultant in oil and gas. It’s fair to say problem solving is as much an obsession, as it is my profession.

Started learning Python as a hobby around 6 years ago, mostly doing data analysis / visualization. The past 2-3 years have also been experimenting with machine learning techniques and am a regular attendee at Perth Machine Learning Group meetups.

I work with a variety of (mostly small) datasets, predominantly tabular (steady state simulation results / calculation outputs, equipment design data, maintenance / inspection records) or timeseries (process historian data and dynamic simulation results) and am looking forward to adding deep learning to the tools I have to work with and learn from this data!

Remember that all models are wrong; the practical question is how wrong do they have to be to not be useful. - George E. P. Box
