### Hello 👋 I'm a [computational quantum physicist](https://scholar.google.com/citations?user=pEj09c4AAAAJ) and [software developer](https://github.com/josh146), working to build accessible, open-source quantum software at [Xanadu](https://xanadu.ai). ### At a glance 👀 * I am a leading product development at Xanadu, with a focus on [PennyLane](https://pennylane.ai/), a library for differentiable programming of quantum computers, and [Catalyst](https://github.com/PennyLaneAI/catalyst), a PythonJIT compiler for hybrid quantum-classical programs. * I sit on the advisory board of the [Unitary Fund](https://unitary.fund), a non-profit working to create an accessible quantum technology ecosystem. * I hold a PhD in quantum computation from the [University of Western Australia](https://www.uwa.edu.au/research/ems-research-clusters/quantum-information-simulation-and-algorithms). * I sometimes moonlight as an illustrator.
