About
My passion is to thoroughly understand complex systems to the level that I can explain them to anyone and use that deep understanding to improve them. I have experience in a wide variety of fields in industry and academia (Quantum Computing, AI, IT Management, etc.). With my interdisciplinary knowledge and experience, I have been able to transform the workplaces I worked in so that they continued to perform better even after I left the job. As one example, I can mention my previous job at Griffith University, where I used AI, optimization, and automation to improve the functionality of the quantum computer that my team worked on. Outside work, I spend time with my family, play soccer, or go hiking.
