Welcome to my portfolio site.

• Projects contains information about my work in a completed or semi-completed state.
• Repositories contains links to my favorite projects source code.

I am currently studying a M.S. in Quantum Information Science at the University of Southern California. I previously graduated with a B.S. in Computer Science from the University of Vermont, and an A.A. in Computer Science from Edmonds College.

My interests lie in quantum computing, distributed computing, networking, and realtime graphical programming.

Some of my projects include development of an efficient weighted sampling data structure, DNS server, and roguelike videogame using Rust.

My quantum computing journey began in Spring 2023 when I completed an undergraduate research project exploring eavesdropping detection and error rates in optical networks as part of the Edmonds College Physics Department.

I spent the Summer of 2024 studying quantum information science at Brookhaven and Oak Ridge national labs.

In Spring 2025 I created a framework for analyzing the distribution of errors in quantum circuits given real hardware data by utilizing probability generating functions as a final project for a complex systems class at the University of Vermont.

Most recently, I have been contributing to the open-source Qiskit project.

Previously, I have worked in IT support where I developed automation tools and infrastructure in addition to handling regular support tickets (2021 - 2022). My position required lots of network debugging and use of REST API’s.

In my free time I enjoy creating realtime generative artworks, getting out in nature, winter sports, going to concerts, and trying new foods.
