# Current Occupations
Occupation is a good alternate word for jobs because these are certainly occupying my time at the moment rather heavily.
📎My PDF resume/CV can be [[pdf| perused over here]]. Contact information detailed within.

## Brief Description:
I am passionate about creating applications that will have real world impacts in the quantum industry.
For my master’s work, I outlined how classical computing transitioners can learn quantum programming through a simple roadmap where I outlined tips, tricks, best practices, as well as sample code along with the most current quantum software tools to assist to date. (2022)
I continue to update this work.
In 2021, I was chosen as a top 5 out of all applicants for the NNSF Fellowship and interviewed with various national laboratories. I have participated in and won several hackathons and enjoy creating new tools for people to use. I have machine learning experience having underwent the experience of creating a climate technology wind prediction system in 2022. I interned on the machine learning team in 2021 at a fantastic Materials science and Bio-chem science company called Schrodinger where I assisted in developing their protein prediction software. I have hosted the NASA Space Apps Hackathon in New York City in 2022 and hope to impact others in positive ways as I grow in the future. In my free time, I make things at my local makerspace Hack Manhattan & enjoy listening to others to exchange ideas.

Just because I've done those above things doesn't mean that I think I'm the best at it or even necessarily good at it though I may be more educated on those experiences or spent quite a bit of time doing it.
