I'm a theoretical physicist by training and entrepreneur & pythonista by choice. I co-founded the Toronto-based biotech startup ProteinQure where we built one of the world's first computational platforms for protein therapeutics (think 3D CAD for molecules) and the Quantum Open Source Foundation. Nowadays, I spent most of my time managing the ML team at ProteinQure whilst also doing all of the interior design for our new company office. On the technical side, I'm working on multi-property optimization algorithms using deap and Bayesian optimization, designing proteins & peptides with generative AI such as RFDiffusion and ColabDesign as well as spending a lot of time building proprietary ML models for peptide drug delivery & discovery together with my team at ProteinQure. My MSc was about "Learning Curves of Quantum Kernel Machines" which made extensive use of quantum-classical hybrid networks built with PennyLane and TensorFlow Quantum.

Quick facts:
