Summary
Ceasar is an AI and quantum software engineer with nine years of experience building research-driven and production-ready systems across finance, academia, and public infrastructure. Currently an AI Advisor at SURF, he manages access to and experimentation on a supercomputer while guiding teams on best practices for scalable compute. His background spans quantum circuit implementation and algorithmic mechanism design from a PhD at UC Irvine to refactoring quantum chip design codebases and shipping AI microservices with modern cloud and CI/CD tooling. He has applied theory to real-world social problems—designing matching mechanisms for congestion pricing and housing allocation—and translated those insights into practical software. Comfortable in Python, C/C++, Java and AWS ecosystems, he blends rigorous research with pragmatic engineering to make cutting-edge quantum and ML methods usable in production. An eclectic problem-solver, he combines deep technical breadth with experience gatekeeping high-value compute resources.
