Current Occupations
Occupation is a good alternate word for jobs because these are certainly occupying my time at the moment rather heavily. Full-time at being a struggling human being though.

Brief Description:
I am CS master’s degree that is passionate about creating applications that will have real world impacts in the quantum industry. In undergrad, my major was computer science & engineering. I am hoping to continue my research in quantum algorithms to further understand ways in which to code applications that are best compatible with the reality of quantum mechanics. I started the interdisciplinary Quantum Computing Club at my university at NYIT which had no quantum information curriculum in 2019 and presented the outcomes of this at the Max Planck Institute DCURQ2020. 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.

Things I’m Good at:
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 it or spent quite a bit of time doing it. Things I'm truly good at are usually the things I enjoy doing.
These include:
- Connecting different things from different topics
- Doodling & drawing
- Singing & practicing my ukulele
- Collective teamwork & cooperation
- Trying to do what is ultimately ethical to do
- Being understanding to circumstances
- Trying out new things that I don't understand (which is a lot!)
- Playing video games.
- Trying to fix things or repurpose them into something else.
- Reading
My Writing:
I like to write too.
