Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolJoey Carter is a physicist-turned-quantum software developer with nine years of experience building high-performance tooling across academia and industry. Currently a developer on Catalyst, he helps deliver a JIT compiler for hybrid quantum–classical PennyLane programs and is researching readiness for fault-tolerant hardware. Previously at Intel he drove measurable C++ compiler optimizations, authored an industry-first time-borrowing algorithm, and built a native k-means engine to improve concurrency. His PhD work on ATLAS combined large-scale data analysis, novel calorimeter techniques, and rigorous statistics—skills he now applies to compiler design, ML, and quantum software. Joey blends deep scientific instincts with pragmatic engineering, favoring test-driven development and data-backed performance changes. Based in Toronto, he’s equally comfortable prototyping research-grade algorithms and delivering production-quality systems.
