01 / AWS Annapurna Labs

Compilers, kernels &
inference performance.

I develop compilers and kernels for LLM inference at AWS Annapurna Labs, with a focus on performance and reliable execution.

My role combines software engineering, performance analysis, and collaboration across engineering teams.

02 / GRADUATE RESEARCH

Learning-based
quantum control.

I developed reinforcement-learning training and evaluation software for quantum control-pulse optimization using Python, JAX, and PyTorch.

My work included simulation environments, reward computation, simulator feedback, and experimental device data. I evaluated behavior under noise and frequency drift.

Superconducting
device modeling.

I built a Python workflow connecting QTCAD simulations, circuit-parameter extraction, and Hamiltonian generation for superconducting hardware.

I profiled computational bottlenecks and checked selected outputs against analytical references.

Generative models
for particle physics.

I contributed to a CERN openlab study of GANs for two b-jet distributions in simulated Higgs signal events, using a modified DijetGAN architecture.

Our report describes classical training with PyTorch and TensorFlow, comparisons with Monte Carlo distributions, and exploratory continuous-variable quantum GANs using PennyLane and Strawberry Fields.

03 / Quantum error correctionAn interactive field guide

Building resilient information
from fragile qubits.

A guided comparison of encodings, error syndromes, and recovery.

Explore eight teaching models: encode, add an error, measure, then inspect recovery.

Explore eight code examples: repetition, Steane, Shor, surface, bivariate bicycle (qLDPC), a small hypergraph product, four-component cat, and square-lattice GKP. Repetition includes bit-flip and phase-flip encodings with 3, 5, 7, or 9 qubits. The interactive models need JavaScript.

For a CSS code, the X-error syndrome is sZ = HZeX mod 2. Ideal square GKP corrects small displacements |Δq|, |Δp| < √π / 2 when [q,p] = i.
