As part of the Future of Work Project, my team collaborated with Snackbrands Australia to develop an AI-driven solution for optimising a key food manufacturing process. I led the development of the AI/ML solution, designed future opportunities, and contributed to problem framing and presentations.

This project strengthened my leadership, problem-solving, and communication skills, deepening my understanding of AI in business.
