Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolIskandar Sitdikov is a software engineer with 11 years of experience building production-grade systems at the intersection of ML, HPC and quantum computing. A graduate of Lomonosov MSU with advanced study in quantum computing and big data, he led architecture and delivery of IBM’s quantum-classical hybrid stack—authoring integrations that connected IBM Quantum System One to supercomputers and enabled Slurm-driven hybrid job scheduling. He’s a core Qiskit contributor who refactored and extended the pulse module and helped bridge Qiskit to other clouds via ecosystem work such as the Qiskit-Braket provider. Comfortable shipping across backend, QA and systems architecture, he’s delivered FaaS-style quantum functions and MLOps platforms while mentoring developer communities. Based in New York and now at Neuralink, he pairs research publications and open-source stewardship with a passion for space and emerging tech like quantum computing.
