### 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.| CARVIEW |
