About

### Hello 👋

I'm a computational quantum physicist and former software developer, working to build accessible,
open-source quantum software at Xanadu.

### At a glance 👀

* I am leading product at Xanadu, and formally a software developer of PennyLane, a library for
  differentiable programming of quantum computers.
  
* I sit on the advisory board of the Unitary Fund, a non-profit working to create
  an accessible quantum technology ecosystem.
  
* I hold a PhD in quantum computation from the University of Western
  Australia.
  
* I used to moonlight as an illustrator but am now retired.
