Work Experience

• Advanced Quantum Software Engineer
  IQM Quantum Computers, Munich, Germany (Oct 2025 - present)

• Designed the end-to-end backend pipeline for compiling and submitting quantum circuits to IQM's quantum hardware. Leading the architectural design of several Qrisp new features.

• Wrote roadmaps, ADRs, and contributing guidelines. Coordinated refactoring projects across 10+ developers to enforce optimal design patterns and code quality standards across the Qrisp codebase.

• Implemented core features and algorithms in Qrisp — particularly in Just-in-Time (JIT) compilation mode with JAX.

• Core contributor to Qrisp, IQM's adopted open-source high-level Python framework for writing and compiling quantum circuits.

• Quantum Software Developer II
  Xanadu Quantum Technologies, Toronto, ON, Canada (Feb 2024 - Oct 2025)

• Contributed to a multi-year effort to capture the entire PennyLane workflow into the JAX computational graph for JIT quantum compilation, accelerating quantum machine learning pipelines. Prototyped a Python compiler based on MLIR to apply quantum transforms as compilation passes.

• Developed DefaultTensor, a PennyLane quantum device based on tensor network simulations, enabling the simulation of quantum circuits with thousands of gates. The public tutorial is available on the PennyLane website.

• Core team release manager for PennyLane 0.41 and PennyLane 0.40, and several PennyLane plugins. Mentored Ph.D. residents during onboarding. Wrote documentation, tutorials, and guides for users.

• Core contributor (300+ commits) to PennyLane, a leading open-source Python/C++ framework for quantum machine learning with 3000+ GitHub stars and 800+ forks.

• Scientific translator
  Giangiacomo Feltrinelli Editore, Milano, Italy (Jan 2025 - Jul 2025)

• Adapter and Italian translator for Covariant Loop Quantum Gravity: An Elementary Introduction to Quantum Gravity and Spinfoam Theory, written by Carlo Rovelli and Francesca Vidotto. The Italian version is Gravità quantistica a loop.

• Researcher and Teaching assistant
  Western University, London, ON, Canada (Sep 2020 - Dec 2023)

• Conducted scientific research with the backing of the Natural Science and Engineering Council of Canada.

• Integrated high-performance computing into loop quantum gravity research. Published original contributions in peer-reviewed journals, also as a first and solo author.

• Teaching assistant for engineering students in Calculus I, Calculus II, and Numerical Methods courses.

• Scientific translator
  Adelphi Edizioni, Milano, Italy (Jun 2020 - Feb 2021)

• Adapter and Italian translator for General Relativity: The Essentials, written by Carlo Rovelli. The Italian version is Relatività generale. Una semplice introduzione.

• Lifeguard
  New Kalos, Rimini, Italy (Jun 2012 - Aug 2012)

• Lifeguard in a swimming pool during summertime in Rimini, Italy. Seasonal work during the formative years.
