· Co-designed and implemented experimental runs in Python and C++ to analyze the performance of entanglement distribution
· Managed and developed a product (QuVAL) that distributes information across a fiber network and performs entanglement validation and state tomography in real time, visualized on a dashboard
· Architected the end-to-end workflow of firmware, backend (Docker) as well as the application frontend UI/UX for the QuVAL using Python, React, and postgreSQL
· Spearheaded creation of a cross-product API service using FastAPI to fastrack cutting-edge research experiments, enabling users to interact programmatically with a first-of-its-kind quantum networking API
· Developed Python firmware drivers for optical hardware over serial, HTTP, and WebSocket interfaces
· Operated in a multi-faceted role as a “forward deployed engineer” and product manager to lead client collaborations and on-call support with 5+ partners simultaneously
· Engineered optical hardware (fiber optics, polarization controllers, classical lasers) to distribute entangled photons securely over traditional, noisy classical channels
· Helped provision, administer and configure Linux Servers, DWDM, TimeTagger, Router Switch and White-Rabbit to achieve picosecond synced communication of time-tagged detector events
· Achieved record metrics (10,000x improvement over previous benchmarks) on entanglement swapping demonstrations on a live fiber network in https://arxiv.org/abs/2602.15653
· Authored academic publications, grant proposal submissions, patent applications, and client presentations

• Architected and implemented a fullstack, client-server system from scratch using python, React.js, Docker, InfluxDB to interface between the user and the dilution fridge control devices (valves, pumps, sensors, etc)
• Implemented a logging protocol via a system monitoring “heartbeat" to store sensor and device information in a time-series database
• Designed and coded a native dashboard using chart.js for data visualization - replacing/improving features offered by Grafana
• Programmed drivers for SMC EX600-Sen3/4 device modules for valve and pump controls for ultra-cold systems
• Worked in a fast-paced environment to get production ready 3 weeks before customer expected deadline

2020 — 2022
• Spearheaded, designed and implemented a multithreaded, distributed and automated tool in python and JAVA to migrate 15000+ repositories via a CLI from Gerrit to Github while integrating with existing infrastructure
• Built a unified cloud-based interface between GitHub and LinkedIn to enable webhook management and traffic balancing
• Programmed and maintained a CI/CD pipeline to handle development and deployment of hundreds of thousands of changes and features per day
• Reduced rate-limiting incidents by replacing REST calls with GraphQL standards across the codebase to fetch only required information
• Developed scripts and a data broker to migrate LDAP data and automatically provision GitHub authentications
• Automated and streamlined onboarding processes for all future new hires by designing and implementing a bot to interact, review and approve/deny PRs for tutorial projects, thereby saving multiple hours per engineer, per week
• Ideated on code-ownership and authoring to better suit the "multiproduct" development conventions at LinkedIn
• Implemented code review automation, custom workflows, and Infra-as-Code tools to contribute to the “Developer Experience"
• Improved the developer CSAT score from 3.3 to 4.49 (out of 5) by building developer oriented products to foster collaboration and enrich development workflows
