I am a recent M.Sc. graduate in Quantum Information Science from the University of Copenhagen (UCPH) and Technical University of Denmark (DTU), with a passion for translating complex mathematical frameworks into practical, production-ready software. My background spans quantum computing, numerical optimization, data science, and scientific computing.
I thrive on moving from idea to execution, experimenting with emerging technologies, and working across disciplines. What motivates me most is building solutions that people actually use.
- Implementing Gaussian Boson Sampling for binary optimization (based on a recent paper) to demonstrate quantum-inspired algorithms for real-world problems.
- Building a portfolio of Python projects that showcase my skills in numerical optimization, data pipelines, and scientific computing.
- Applying for roles as an Algorithmic Software Engineer, AI Developer, or Technology Advisor in quantum technologies.
- Advanced quantum algorithms and their applications in optimization and chemistry.
- Best practices for production-ready Python code, including testing, CI/CD, and containerization.
- The intersection of quantum technology and defense applications, including NATO DIANA initiatives.
- Opportunities to apply my skills in quantum-inspired algorithms and software engineering.
- Collaboration on open-source projects in quantum computing, AI, or scientific computing.
- Roles where I can bridge the gap between research and practical software development.
- Quantum Information Science and quantum algorithms (VQE/QAOA, Qiskit, Pennylane).
- Python development (NumPy, SciPy, PySCF, Pandas).
- Numerical optimization and linear algebra.
- My M.Sc. thesis on Optimised Virtual Orbital Space (OVOS).
- My experience with the EFEQT programme and international quantum conferences.

I participated in the QST-Hack 2025, an invitation-only hackathon at DTU, where I collaborated with an international team on a science communication challenge focused on quantum algorithms.
I am passionate about making complex technical concepts accessible to diverse audiences and believe that clear communication is as important as technical skill.
