Quantum + AI engineer who ships. Co-founded QuicklyQuantum (photonic quantum hardware), built production LLM/agent systems at Nimble Gravity, contributed to WatsonX and Granite at IBM. Wrote "Letters to a New CQO" on quantum strategy. Currently building an open-source model router designed for low API connectivity and speed.
Open to IC engineering roles building agentic systems, or leadership roles (CTO, Head of AI, fractional exec) where I can set technical direction and still stay close to the code. Full-time, fractional, or contract.
