Summary
Herman Rogers is a Staff Software Engineer specializing in quantum control systems and experiment automation, with 12 years of experience building scalable software across startups, research labs, and enterprise teams. He has led full-stack and control-software efforts that validate quantum processing units, built data pipelines and secure transmission systems at Elsevier and Interfolio, and co-founded two startups where he shipped smart contracts and bespoke CI/CD tooling. Herman blends applied ML and reinforcement learning with high-performance quantum simulation work (using A100/H100 and cuQuantum) that helped reproduce and challenge high-profile quantum supremacy results. Comfortable in languages from Python and Go to Elixir and C#, he repeatedly drives engineering best practices and architectures in fast-evolving hardware and product environments. Based in Blacksburg and finishing an MS in CS (Machine Learning) at Georgia Tech, he pairs entrepreneurial grit with rigorous research experience. An intriguing thread through his career is moving ideas from prototype to production—whether game engines, academic attribution algorithms, or quantum control stacks.
