Projects & Research
A selection of my work in sovereign artificial intelligence, applied machine learning, and open-source ecosystems.
Southern Cross AI
The broader community and initiative dedicated to building sovereign artificial intelligence capability for Australia. Southern Cross AI collaborates with academia, government, and the open-source community to advance region-specific AI ecosystems and drive local innovation.
JoeyLLM
A flagship model project developed within the Southern Cross AI ecosystem. JoeyLLM focuses on understanding local Australian vocabulary, policy, and cultural contexts to address regional bias. Features models like "Baby Joey" (~1B) and "Little Joey" (~7B) trained on 1.3 trillion tokens.
Open Source NLP Contributions
Various contributions to the Australian data science community, focusing on applied Natural Language Processing in government contexts, computer vision, and machine learning architectures.
