Backend engineering / Scientific computing

Backend engineer.
Product builder.

I build and operate data-intensive software, from search platforms and financial tools to systems that control scientific instruments.

PhD in Quantum Computing & Atmospheric Physics.
From research questions to running systems.

03 / Research

A scientific way
of thinking.

My research explores quantum algorithms for molecular simulation and atmospheric dynamics. I’m interested in how mathematical ideas become useful computational methods.

04 / About

Curiosity, backed
by practical experience.

A backend engineer and founder with a PhD in quantum computing and atmospheric physics. I bring the same curiosity to a production system as I do to a research problem: understand it deeply, make the trade-offs explicit, and build something that works.

My work has taken me from early quantum-compiler prototypes at Cambridge Quantum Computing to scientific instruments, financial software and my own search product, Easy Diavgeia.

Outside software and research, I enjoy sailing and reading history.
