# Welcome! #

I am <NAME> and currently I am a Research Engineer at [Pensar Development](https://pensardevelopment.com/) in Settle, WA. Most recently I was a Postdoctoral Fellow at [Macquarie University](https://www.mq.edu.au/). I got my PhD from the [Institute for Quantum Computing](https://uwaterloo.ca/institute-for-quantum-computing/) at the [University of Waterloo](https://uwaterloo.ca/) in Waterloo, Ontario. I am physics experimentalist specialized in building and breaking opto-electronic systems. Some of my favorite things: Writing about science and technology, laser cutters, and how fun it is to break things! (to learn how they work of course 😉)
