I am a Software Development Manager at Amazon Braket, a service designed to accelerate scientific research and software development for quantum computing. I have been a leader of software teams for the past decade, managing teams at Amazon Advertising and Seagate Technology with a key focus on distributed data collection and state-of-the art analytics. Before joining the technology industry, I completed my PhD in atomic, molecular and optical physics at Aarhus University, and was a postdoctoral fellow at the James R Macdonald Lab at Kansas State University.
