IDENTITY

I like building things that make complicated systems feel simple.

ENGINEER

I write production software across the stack — from database schema to the pixels a user touches.

THE LAB

IBM QUANTUM CHALLENGE 2024 — COMPLETED

This is a space I actively explore, not a claim to be a quantum researcher. Below is what I've worked with directly.

Scaled a VQC (Variational Quantum Classifier) to 50+ qubits.

Toggle the gates, then run the circuit.

WHAT I'M EXPLORING

Foundation for everything downstream.

BUILDING IN PUBLIC

Most of what I build lives inside client and company codebases — but the pieces I can share, I do: internal tools, integration packages, and what I'm learning along the way.

GITHUB
Custom NPM Package

Integration layer for the biometric system, published for reuse across internal projects.

Go-Based Internal Tooling

Internal tooling built in Go while at Velox Labs.

THE SYSTEM

Not a diagram for the sake of one — this is the actual pipeline this portfolio deploys through. One app, one container, one droplet, nothing more than it needs.
