Externally, I'm a Marksman, Yale-alum, ex-D1 football player, and researcher.

My professional career has been rooted in (distributed) software systems and quantum physics. On top of classwork and football at Yale, I built a compiler for network programming, researched quantum control systems and quantum error correction algorithms, and published a paper on measurement-based quantum programming. I was a founding board member of the Yale Undergraduate Quantum Computing group, where I led open source software, and helped found the Quantum Coalition. I led hacking for QCHack 2021, which attracted 2.1k participants from 80 countries.

During my summers, I interned for Google, the second time building the first 3D visualization tool for quantum circuits. I'm also the author of Google's cirq-web, which allows for modeling and simulation of quantum circuits on the browser. After graduating from Yale, I decided against going the academic/Ph.D. route, and went on to work full time for Google Quantum AI for six months before leaving to enter the startup world.

Currently, I'm interested in building machines that expose topological and combinatorial structure in quantum information science. I founded             , where I currently serve as CEO, to apply this work to real world problems.

Internally, I'm big on discipline, persistence, accountability, and brutal honesty.

I come from humble beginnings, am the oldest child, and have been the first in my family to do a lot of things. My hard work has translated to professional "success" mainly due to the generosity of others and their willingness to truly bet on me.

I don't really care about anything other than family, playing sports, and building systems (companies, software, etc.) from the ground up.
