|10⟩ IBM Quantum

Ambassador for the quantum era.

As an IBM Quantum Associate Ambassador I translate qubits, error mitigation and Qiskit into language that boards, clients and regulators understand, and I bring quantum-safe thinking into enterprise IT conversations.

Getting ready for Q-Day.

Large quantum computers will break the public-key cryptography most companies rely on today, and data harvested now can be decrypted later. I help teams understand that risk, find where their cryptography lives, and plan the move to post-quantum standards.

Where quantum pays off first.

Quantum advantage will arrive one use case at a time: optimisation, simulating molecules and materials, and new kinds of machine learning. I help business leaders separate real opportunities from hype, judge when they become relevant, and build a roadmap.

Hackathons taken part in

Time-boxed builds and competitions, each with a write-up of what worked and what didn’t.

Entry Scout
3RD PLACE · 3 HOURS · BUILD IT ANYWAY: SIGNAL HUNT WITH APIFY · #SFTECHWEEK · SAN FRANCISCO · OCT 2026

Three-hour signal-hunting hackathon at the European Startup Embassy, powered by Apify. Finished 3rd. Enter a company and agents map each product to where EU public buyers are heading, using labelled TED awards, web and social signals and open tenders, then return a source-tagged brief and a draft outreach email. The award data bank is labelled by the extraction engine from my HSBA master’s thesis.

Two-day model-training hackathon: maximise GSM8K accuracy minus model size. Finished 6th with a light LoRA on Qwen3.5-4B; the write-up covers all 52 training runs, the leaderboard and the lessons learned.

Score = % of the 1,319 GSM8K test questions solved − model size in billions of parameters. Mine: 91.89 % − 4.66 B = 87.23.

PLACEMENT: N/A · 2 DAYS · GLASSWING VENTURES ENTERPRISE-READY AI HACKATHON · BOSTON AI WEEK · BOSTON · SEP 2026

Two-day enterprise-AI hackathon hosted by Glasswing Ventures. Our team of five built Phision, a pharma quality-intelligence agent: when something goes wrong in a medicine factory, it rebuilds what happened across the plant’s systems, stress-tests the suspected root cause and hands QA an investigation where every claim cites its evidence. My part was the company itself: a fictional generics manufacturer with its own records, quality events and a planted root cause for the agent to find. We shipped and demoed but didn’t place; the recap covers why.
