Irvine, California, United States
It’s a pleasure to meet you! The right combination of curiosity, compassion, and computation can change lives. As a scientist, engineer, analyst, educator, and founder, I’ve led research and built companies that push the boundaries of what’s possible in quantum computing, applied machine learning, and biomedical innovation. Whether modeling tumor dynamics at the cellular level or deploying encrypted quantum pipelines for clinical and financial systems, my goal remains the same: to transform complex theory into tangible, life-saving impact, while simultaneously compress the time between an idea and a reliable result. I currently lead NEXQ Inc., a hybrid quantum-deep-tech company developing secure, scalable platforms for precision medicine. We are solving the unsolvable by integrating NIST-inspired post-quantum encryption, quantum neural networks, and high-performance simulations, translating cutting-edge R&D into usable products across healthcare and medtech. Previously, I served as a federally funded Lead Instructor for Quantum Software & Development at MIT Beaver Works Summer Institute (MIT BWSI), where I mentored the next generation of quantum engineers and helped scale the nationwide curriculum. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of collaborating with exceptional researchers — Drs. Liu, Rudich, Rockne, Woodall, Cannizzo, Cheng, Cho, Chow, Malinick, Mills, Potomkin, and others — across institutions including University of Southern California, Carnegie Mellon University, City of Hope, MIT, and UC Riverside. These experiences have not only refined my technical acumen but reinforced my belief in the power of mentorship, cross-disciplinary collaboration, and human-centered innovation. Driven by a thirst for knowledge and a desire to make a meaningful impact, I look forward to conversing with fellow peers and mentors to gain insight into how diversity plays an impactful role in daily life. Eager to learn from industry leaders and contribute to projects that push the boundaries of innovation and progress, I am actively exploring board and director-level roles in AI/ML/DL, R&D strategy, biotech innovation, and venture-backed deep-tech ventures. I also welcome board advisory opportunities where I can contribute scientific insight, operational execution, and long-term vision to mission-driven teams. As we all know, education and knowledge are the keys to success. — Please enjoy a well-earned cookie ：🍪 ：）

Independent Consultant (Aug 2016 – 2024) | Founder (2024 – 2026) Transitioned from independent work to formal business operations, incorporating AI & ML, with the founding of LuxLeaf AI in 2024. Architected and built secure, high-performance backend services and APIs (RESTful and GraphQL), powering data-driven applications for enterprise clients. Designed and deployed full-stack systems using modern frameworks including React, Angular, Python, and SQL, integrating backend logic with dynamic front-end components and interactive visualizations. Led infrastructure management, including CI/CD pipeline design (GitHub Actions, Jenkins), monitoring, and automated testing; deployed containerized solutions using Docker and Kubernetes on AWS. Implemented infrastructure-as-code practices with tools like Terraform, ensuring scalable, repeatable environments. Contributed to system architecture and design reviews, while maintaining clean, modular, and maintainable codebases. Successfully delivered multiple client engagements, including a high-impact, 18-month project under NDA — demonstrating trust, self-direction, and deep technical execution.
