About Me

Driven PhD student in Quantum Machine Learning with a passion for bridging the gap between theory and application. Prior industry experience as a Deep Learning Developer at @Myelin Foundry. Currently, I’m researching ML algorithms to improve NISQ computer performance at @MPS-Lab.

Where I’m looking to go : My current goal is to complete a PhD in Quantum Machine Learning and contribute to the development of this emerging and interdisciplinary field.

Stuff I’m good with:

  • languages -> | | | | | | | | |
  • machine_learning -> | | | | | scikit_learn |
  • frameworks -> | | | | |
  • dev_ops -> | | | | | | |

Feel free to message me on LinkedIn anytime.
Always ready to talk Tech, Machine Learning, Quantum Computing, K-Pop or Anime.
