👋 Hello!

I’m a Quantum Algorithm Developer at Photonic Inc. (a quantum computing start-up), where I employ my mathematical expertise to optimize and benchmark implementations of quantum algorithms on Photonic’s quantum stack.

I live in beautiful Port Moody, BC, with my family.

I enjoy mathematical puzzles and challenges! Sometimes I like to solve 538’s Riddlers and started compiling my solutions here, or ponder mathematical musings on my blog.

Outside of mathematics, I enjoy playing ultimate frisbee, homebrewing beer, tabletop games, and various outdoor activities (hiking, camping, climbing, skiing, snowshoeing).

🎓 Academic Background

When I was still in academia, my research interests centred around solving mathematical problems motivated by questions in quantum information theory. I primarily made use of convex analysis, convex optimization, linear algebra, matrix analysis, and operator algebras to tackle questions related to the theory of quantum entanglement.
