𝐂𝐮𝐫𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐭Project lead on next generation qubit control platform.𝐏𝐫𝐞𝐯𝐢𝐨𝐮𝐬Lead software developer of qubit control software. Occasionally performed simulations, numerical modeling, and data analysis. Some highlights include:• Built software for defining, manipulating, and compiling complex pulse sequences for qubit control.• Built data acquisition and (soft) real-time processing software for qubit measurements.• Designed scalable database solution for managing qubit data and performing large scale meta studies.• Developed triple quantum dot qubit calibration and randomized benchmarking techniques.• Developed unified hardware control software for heterogeneous scientific instruments using protocols such as VISA, PCIe, GPIB, etc. Also developed simulations of hardware enabling dramatically improved unit and integration testing.• Built the first unit testing, CI/CD, documentation (automatically published), and issue tracking.

• Maintained and updated a laser cooling apparatus to cool atomic gases to a few microkelvin.• Developed techniques for robust quantum control of cold atomic spins using lasers, magnetic fields, and RF/microwaves.• Performed simulations, numerical modeling, and data analysis.

• Wrote Fortran and C++ programs to process and analyze large data sets from the Solar Mass Ejection Imager (SMEI).
