I’m Aleksander, a physicist turned software engineer working at the intersection of quantum computing, artificial intelligence, and high-performance computing. Throughout my career I’ve been pushing the boundaries of what’s possible with technology, I thrive on tackling complex challenges and pioneering innovative solutions. So far I’ve worked in quantum computing, artificial intelligence/machine learning, and high performance computing. Apart from these more deeptech ventures I’ve several times worked in “shallow tech” - trying to impact the real world.

Currently, I work cross-functionally across quantum software and cloud platform as quantum software technical lead at Pasqal. The rest of my time I dedicate to exploring LLMs/ChatBots (especially with Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) techniques) and running LLMs on edge-devices. I’m also looking into the tourism and hospitality industry at MyConcierges and working on solving bureaucracy at Tramitit.

If interested you can even hire me for short term engagements or advice!

Twice I’ve tried to create my own startups, both times failing early. Once in the area of renting clothes to combat fast fashion and another in modernizing the construction industry. Those are good examples of industries that I’m interested in targeting as I believe that they have both large addressable markets, but there there can be large social and environmental gains to be had.

I’m trying to publish my thoughts on software, quantum, AI and anything else under musings.

I enjoy talking at conferences and I try to mostly view the world from a birdseye view when I do so. For example you can watch my talk on Qadence on YouTube at youtube.com/watch?v=2WwZ042-btc.
