Frederick, MD
07.2024 - Current
  • Developed a quantum solver library focused on applied problems in chemistry and finance using IBM's Qiskit.
  • Achievements: 3,000 lines of bug-free code, six research papers published, proof-of-concepts for optimization challenges like VRP.
  • Was able to develop independently, but was not able to ship to pip and get the VRP app up due to upstream errors in qiskit and dependency issues.
  • Explored Bose-Einstein condensates and non-Abelian anyons as substrates for quantum computation using QuTiP.
  • Achievements: refined code simulating quantum phenomena, deep theoretical work in condensed matter physics, requiring chip design knowledge.
  • Created a multi-objective optimization model balancing accuracy, stability, and reliability in AI systems.
  • Achievements: Complete framework available on GitHub, with accompanying code, data, and white papers.
  • Built and visualized the A* algorithm to simulate maze flooding for optimization.
  • Achievements: Successfully programmed and visualized optimization processes, demonstrating real-world problem-solving with the A* flood method.
  • Coded a variety of models from linear programming to dynamic VRP (Vehicle Routing Problem) to showcase algorithmic knowledge.
  • Achievements: Full documentation and coded models demonstrating advanced optimization techniques, not client-based but for demonstration of expertise.
  • Developed a books application that allows users to search for books and add them to their reading list.
  • Achievements: Successfully implemented a full-stack application using the MEAN stack, FastAPI, and SQLite.
