About Me

Hi, I’m Ryan.

I am a Monash University graduate with a background in Software Engineering and Data Science. I enjoy the challenge of bridging the gap between technical systems and practical insights, whether that involves engineering a database or analysing data to support better decision-making.

Through my internship as a Junior Associate at IBM and my leadership roles with AIESEC, I have developed a mix of technical and coordination skills. I am comfortable working with SQL and data visualisations, but I also value the operational side of a role such as managing project logistics and collaborating with a team to hit targets.

I am currently looking for graduate opportunities where I can apply my analytical mindset and technical foundation to help solve real-world problems.

Portfolio

This portfolio features projects completed as part of my Data Science studies. Each project explores real-world questions using data analysis and visualisation. From understanding Melbourne’s café landscape to examining public transport accessibility, these works demonstrate my ability to extract insights, build interactive tools, and communicate results clearly.

Exploring the Distribution of Dining Spots in Melbourne

This project, developed using R Shiny, investigates Melbourne’s café and restaurant landscape through interactive data visualisations. By analysing the relationship between location, price levels, and customer satisfaction, it highlights trends in dining density, affordability, and quality across different suburbs.

Key features include a Leaflet-based map of venue locations, interactive bar and scatter plots, and dynamic controls such as a suburb filter and year slider, allowing users to explore how Melbourne’s dining scene has evolved over time. The dashboard offers valuable insights for both consumers and hospitality business owners.

Tools & Skills Used:

R Shiny, Leaflet, ggplot2, Plotly, dplyr

Data wrangling and cleaning
Interactive dashboard design
Visual storytelling with user-centred design principles (FDS, Gestalt, colour theory)

Analysing Public Transport Accessibility in Melbourne

This project explores accessibility gaps in Melbourne’s public transport network using spatial data analysis and visualisation. Focusing on the post-COVID context, it identifies suburbs with limited or no access to bus, tram, or train services, providing insights for future planning and infrastructure improvements.

The project uses spatial queries to calculate stop density across mesh blocks and identify underserved regions. Choropleth maps created in QGIS highlight coverage disparities across Melbourne, offering a clear view of transport inequality and network strengths.
