• 👷🏻‍♂️ Currently at IonQ, doing my bit in building a quantum computer, before that I was at Microsoft Quantum.
• 🌟 A deep dive into computational topological quantum mechanics earned me my PhD.
• 🎨 I've crafted a few libraries for Home Assistant, making home automation a bit more fun.
• ⚒️ Made other tools speed up and massively parallelize numerical simulations.
• 🏅 Very passionate about open-source, software quality, user experience, and smooth performance.
• 🐍 Python is my go-to language in most of my projects.
• Some of my favorite creations:
  • 📈 python-adaptive/adaptive: Parallel active learning of mathematical functions? Check!
  • 🧬 unidep: Unifying pip and conda requirements, single command to set up a full dev environment.
  • 🕸️ pipefunc/pipefunc: Lightweight function pipeline (DAG) creation in pure Python for scientific (HPC) workflows.
  • 💡 adaptive-lighting: A custom component for Home Assistant to keep your lighting in sync with the sun.
  • 🤖 agent-cli: A voice and local first set of AI tools including OS-level hotkey integration for transcription right to clipboard.
  • 📝 markdown-code-runner: Run (hidden) code blocks right within your Markdown files - keep simple README.mds in sync!
  • 🕒 rsync-time-machine.py: Time Machine-style backups with rsync for the minimalists.
  • 🏠 home-assistant-config: Over 100 documented automations in my Home Assistant config
  • 📚 tuitorial: Create beautiful terminal-based code tutorials / presentations
  • 🧰 dotbins: Manage binary CLI tools right in a version-controlled Git repo that works on all systems and architectures
  • 🔑 dotfiles: My dotfiles in a well-documented Git repo that works on all systems and architectures (personally used for >10 of my systems)
  • 🌾 compose-farm: Manage Docker Compose stacks across multiple hosts via SSH - simpler than Kubernetes, works with existing compose files.
