Senior Quantum Software Engineer · Computational Physicist · QEC & Fault-Tolerant Quantum Computing
I build quantum software that connects physical models, algorithms, and production compute platforms. My background combines a PhD in theoretical quantum physics, 15 peer-reviewed publications, tensor-network and HPC research, and end-to-end ownership of deployed quantum SDKs, services, and hybrid workflows.
I am now applying that experience to quantum error correction and fault-tolerant computing through a substantial independent implementation portfolio.
- Quantum error correction: surface codes, lattice surgery, decoding, noisy-circuit modelling, photonic fusion networks, and logical resource estimation.
- Fault-tolerant workflows: mapping application problems towards logical circuits, Clifford+T compilation, Pauli-based computation, and physical-resource questions.
- Quantum software: production Python services and SDKs, provider integrations, asynchronous job systems, testing, CI/CD, and cloud deployment.
- Computational physics: tensor networks, open quantum systems, strongly correlated models, error propagation, and hardware-aware simulation.
I joined Strangeworks as a Quantum Algorithm Scientist in 2022 and progressed to Senior Quantum Software Engineer in 2023. My work has combined algorithm development, platform architecture, hands-on implementation, and technical leadership.
- Created the original QAOA, VQE, and Hybrid Optimize products, taking them from algorithm design and prototyping through production SDKs, services, testing, documentation, CI/CD, and deployment.
- Became the principal technical owner of the Optimization platform, spanning its Python SDK, shared models, orchestration, provider services, asynchronous job lifecycle, billing, results, and deployments.
- Technically owned the Amazon Braket, Qiskit, Qiskit Runtime, and neutral-atom provider paths, and created platform integrations for MATLAB, Wolfram Language, and Julia.
- Drove the quantum and optimization direction of AI-assisted workflows, including natural-language-to-MIP/QUBO formulation, solver selection, execution, and problem-specific result analysis.
- Designed the best-measured-solution enhancement to StrangeworksQAOA and led its hardware benchmark on Rigetti Ankaa-3 through Amazon Braket Hybrid Jobs.
Quantum Playground — checked learning notebooks spanning surface-code QEC, tensor-network simulation, decoding, quantum algorithms, and fault-tolerant resource estimation.
My Quantum Playground is a working laboratory of executable notebooks and supporting modules. The QEC collection progresses from individual logical qubits to decoding, lattice surgery, noise modelling, compilation, and application-level resource studies.
