Eric Hulburd is a Lead MLOps Engineer in Berkeley with 12 years of experience applying classical ML to improve quantum hardware performance and building the data systems that enable that research. He blends full-stack engineering, cloud authorization/authentication (gRPC, Casbin, OpenStack, AWS), and data platform work to deliver production-ready observability, BI, and research tooling. At Rigetti he moved from implementing secure cloud services to leading MLOps for quantum ML, drawing on a background that includes Rails-backed carbon-footprint analytics and GreenButton data parsing. An active open-source contributor, he has improved front-end benchmarking by integrating Dioxus into the popular js-framework-benchmark and contributed backend work to Rigetti’s pyQuil quantum SDK. With advanced training in data science from UC Berkeley and a humanities-informed Master’s from Stanford, he pairs technical depth with cross-disciplinary thinking and a demonstrated knack for shipping robust systems under ambiguous research constraints.

Role in this project:
Front-end Developer
Contributions:5 commits in 25 days
Contributions summary:Eric's primary contribution involves integrating the Dioxus framework into the js-framework-benchmark repository, specifically focusing on the keyed implementation. They added a new Dioxus framework and included initial code. The user further updated the Dioxus implementation with build optimizations and fixed keying issues within the row component. These changes suggest a focus on component implementation and performance improvements within the context of a front-end benchmarking project.
