About
I’m currently a Ph.D. candidate in Physics at UC Berkeley. As a member of the Häffner lab, my research interests include experimental trapped-ion quantum computing and experimental verification of quantum simulation and computation.
I have over a decade of software engineering experience at Microsoft as an individual contributor, technical leader, and people manager.
