Hardware engineer with 10+ years of experience designing and building precision optical and quantum computing systems. My work spans optical system design, precision optomechanics, cryogenic engineering, and complex system integration.

At Duke, I developed a novel cryogenic packed ion trap system emphasizing manufacturability and long-term stability. At Penn, I've worked on semiconductor quantum dot systems, expanding my experience by focusing on dilution refrigerator integration, low noise electrical measurements, and device fabrication.

I specialize in precision hardware engineering, taking complex physics and turning it into stable, practical systems. Now looking to apply this systems engineering mindset to industrial R&D in optical systems, imaging, instrumentation, or precision hardware development.
