Hi, I'm Markus.
You can also call me Anh Khoa, my Vietnamese name, pronounced /aŋ̟h kʷɔːǎ/. Whatever’s easier for you.
A random nerd who loves doing new things and learning whatever comes his way. I’m always trying to improve and stay open to new opportunities. Coding, science, geography, or cooking are all good topics to start a conversation with me. Or ask me to play chess, volleyball, or pretty much any sport, that’s a great icebreaker too.
Things I built
A mix of hackathon sprints, challenge builds, and side projects, mostly AI/ML and full-stack web.
AI · Knowledge representation
Wumpus World Agent
An agent that reasons its way through a dark cave from nothing but stench and breeze, finds the gold, and gets back out alive. No learning, pure rule-based inference.
NLP · 1st place, Deep Learning course
AI Text Detector
A two-stage XLM-RoBERTa fine-tune that spots AI-written reviews, reaching 0.9511 Kaggle AUROC against a 0.7823 baseline.
Product Cadet Challenge 2026
#SkillHub.md: Agent Skill Registry
A SPA where builders upload, tag, and share markdown skill files for AI agents like Claude Code, with auth, versioning, and a public registry to browse.
AI / Generative music
MarJazz: Jazz Piano Generation
A dual-block LSTM that improvises solo jazz piano from REMI-tokenised MIDI, trained on the PiJAMA dataset.
BIG Hackathon · Built in 34 hours
🦆 NexusS: Merging Study Sessions
Helps students discover and join nearby study sessions on a live map, because studying alone is overrated.
University project
MyEvents
An Eventbrite for Adelaide Uni: one place to find, publish and book the events that are otherwise scattered across Instagram and faculty sites.
Meta
Portfolio
The site you're on: a Hugo build with hand-written layouts, rebuilt from a theme into its own design system.

Timeline
Jul 2026 - Present
Data Science Intern, Lunio
Evaluating recommendation performance in the Streamline dynamic pricing team. Built a Terraform and AWS pipeline that exports analysis metrics for reuse across projects, plus a LangGraph agent that turns each pricing recommendation into a plain-language explanation, now shipped inside Streamline.
Dec 2025 - Feb 2026
Research Intern, Australian Institute for Machine Learning
Simulated copolymerisation reactions between monomers to compute reactivity ratios and identify candidate compounds for solid-state batteries. Designed the copolymerisation systems and ran the simulations on a high-performance computing cluster.
Feb 2024 - Present
Computer Science (Advanced), Adelaide University
Majoring in Artificial Intelligence, GPA 6.75/7.0. Coursework across algorithms and data structure analysis, neural networks and deep learning, multi-modal data analysis, and cloud and concurrent programming.
High school
Ben Tre High School for the Gifted
Chemistry major, national chemistry candidate.
Outside the code
Probably out for a run, mixing footage for a friend’s project, or wiring up mics for VietFest, where I volunteer as Media Leader, keeping Vietnamese culture visible for the community in Adelaide. Chemistry was my first love back in high school, when I earned a spot on the provincial training team, and I still don’t miss a League of Legends World Championship. Volleyball’s where I unwind on weekends. This description might be a little out of date. I’m probably off trying something new right as you’re reading this.

My Thoughts
Occasional write-ups on AI/ML, hackathons, and building things, plus a diary of lessons learned, and a new home for what used to live scattered across socials.
