Incoming ML Master's student at ETH Zรผrich. Graduated in the top 2.8% from Babeศ-Bolyai University (9.82/10). First-author publication in quantum ML. Qiskit Advocate @ IBM Quantum.
Building at the intersection of quantum computing, AI/ML, and software engineering.
๐ About Me
I'm driven by hard problems, whether that's optimizing quantum circuits, building low-latency trading systems, or shipping full-stack apps with a team.
My research interests sit at the intersection of quantum computing, machine learning, and stochastic modelling. I'm a Qiskit Advocate with IBM Quantum and a Working Group Member (WGs 3 & 4) in COST Action STOCHASTICA, contributing to interdisciplinary research in computational stochastic modelling.
Outside of research, I work as a Junior Full-Stack Developer at Broadridge, where I build high-performance trading solutions in C# (.NET) and Java/Kotlin. I enjoy writing clean, well-tested code, collaborating in agile teams, and learning through building.
I'm also open to collaborating on interesting projects, so feel free to reach out!

๐ถ Hobbies
- I'm very passionate about listening to music and tracking how my tastes evolve over time, and I enjoy exploring vastly different genres, including hip-hop, metal, ambient, and pop.
- I also have a deep love for photography, especially shooting in black and white with a focus on capturing the architecture of buildings and their symmetry.
