Experimental Physicist & Engineer | 10+ years solving complex problems in optics, electronics & programming

Profile Summary

I am a physicist and engineer with 10+ years of experience at the intersection of quantum computing, photonics, electronics, and software development, spanning both academia and industry. My background includes leading the development of complex experimental platforms such as quantum gas microscopes, as well as delivering certified production-grade software and hardware in the medical device and cybersecurity sectors. What I bring to entrepreneurs and businesses is the ability to turn complex scientific and engineering challenges into working solutions: Optics & Photonics: Precision measurement, optical integration, laser systems. Electronics & Control: FPGA/Verilog design, RF electronics, automation, PCB design, high-performance instrumentation. Software & Data: Python/C++ development, system integration, certified medical and security software. I enjoy working with innovative teams where rigorous science meets real-world application. Whether as a consultant, technical advisor, or project collaborator, I help bridge the gap between advanced research and concrete, practical and scalable solutions.
